LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith declined comment Monday on a report that former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis would be interested in becoming Chicago’s offensive coordinator if the job opened. A local news outlet, citing an anonymous source close to Weis, reported the position would be attractive to him. Ron Turner has the coordinator job currently. Smith said he couldn’t comment on something Weis might have said, adding: "We have an offensive coordinator in place right now. I can comment about that." The opportunity to work with Jay Cutler could be an attractive one for Weis, who helped Tom Brady develop into one of the game’s great quarterbacks as the New England Patriots’ offensive coordinator before leaving for Notre Dame in 2004. He also coached two of the Fighting Irish’s most prolific passers in Brady Quinn and Jimmy Clausen. Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
