Singletary: Coaching for Vikings has been 'tremendous surprise'

This weekend is more than just a big division matchup between the Bears and Vikings.

Sunday's game will feature a pair of Minnesota coaches -- head coach Leslie Frazier and linebackers coach Mike Singletary -- facing off against the team they won a Super Bowl with. Both Frazier and Singletary were members of the 1985 Bears defense, one of the best units of all time.

CSN sat down with Singletary earlier this year as part of the popular "Inside Look" series, and the Hall of Fame linebacker chatted about what it's like to work for one of the Bears' rivals and coaching with Frazier.

"Once you've been in Chicago, it's a city that is really unlike any other," Singletary said. "It has its own signature. It certainly is a city that I will always be thankful for and what Chicago means to me and my family and so many people there. They love hard, they fight hard. It's a great city."

"I think sometimes things happen in life and you find yourself in situation where, at the onset, you think 'you've gotta be kidding me. I'm going to Minnesota or Green Bay?' But I think everything has to do with your attitude toward being where you are. Being here has been great. It's been a tremendous surprise for me."

Singletary also discusses how he got into coaching and his desire to become a head coach again and take a team to the Super Bowl multiple times.

Check out the entire interview with Singletary in advance of the Bears-Vikings game Sunday.
