It just keeps getting worse

Just when it looked like the Bears’ search for an offensive coordinator couldn’t get any more depressing, it did just that.

Former Ravens quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson had an interview scheduled for today at Halas Hall. But he has backed out at the last minute and will instead take the offensive coordinator job with the Raiders, whose head coach Tom Cable still doesn’t know for sure if he’ll be retained by wacky owner Al Davis.

It doesn’t say much for the Bears, when qualified candidates like Jackson blow them off to join the most dysfunctional organization in the NFL. The Raiders haven’t won more than five games in any of the past six seasons.

There has been speculation that Colts assistant head coach/receivers coach Clyde Christensen is on the Bears’ radar. But he’ll be tied up in Super Bowl preparations for the next two weeks and could be in line for a promotion in Indy with offensive coordinator Tom Moore expected to retire.

The Bears are also still without a defensive coordinator.
