From PFT- Zampese emerges as Bears offensive coordinator candidate Posted by Mike Florio on January 12, 2010 10:59 PM ET With Jeremy Bates opting to follow his boss to Seattle and Tom Clements not being allowed to sit for the job, the Bears are down to Plan C. Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune reports that the Bears have sought and received permission to interview Bengals quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese for the position of offensive coordinator. Zampese, 42, has spent seven seasons with the Bengals. He worked on the same Rams staff with Bears coach Lovie Smith, under head coach Mike Martz. Martz, meanwhile, has yet to get a sniff for the job. The fact that Martz reportedly recommended Zampese to Smith suggests that Martz has been told that he's not getting the job, regardless of how many times the Bears swing and miss while trying to fill it.

Nolan wanted to snag him when Turner left, but since it happened late in the offseason, the Bengals declined at the request.

That's who we should have hired when Norv left. Good job McCloughan.

seems that way. I believe he would've been the favorite to get the job had not Norv Turner left so late in the off-season.

I did see the post above. Never ever have I read that Nolan wanted Zampese. FANS wanted Zampese, but never once have I heard of Nolan wanting Zampese. Maybe if he provided a link, I'd believe it.
