Leslie Frazier, the Seahawks' assistant head coach, is a man on a mission. As he prepares to lead his team into Super Bowl LVII against Tom Brady and the Patriots, he can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over him. It's the 40th anniversary of the Chicago Bears' historic '85 season, and Frazier, who was a key member of that team, is eager to see how his players measure up.
Frazier played for the Bears from 1985 to 1990, earning a reputation as one of the league's top defensive backs. He went on to have a long and storied coaching career, including stints with the Vikings and Illinois, before joining the Seahawks in 2022.
But despite his success on the field and behind it, Frazier remains deeply loyal to the Bears organization. In fact, he was so proud of his old team's accomplishments that he would've loved to see them win it all back in 1985.
"I'll always be a Bears fan because of my allegiance to the McCaskey family," Frazier told the Sun-Times. "Ed and Virginia were so good to me and my family during my time there, and I still have a lot of relationships in the organization, so I'm always pulling for the Bears."
Frazier's love for the Bears was evident even back in his playing days. When he saw the Rams defeat the Bears in the divisional round of the playoffs that year, he was rooting for Seattle to take on his old team in the NFC Championship Game.
"I was so much pulling for those guys to come to Seattle and play us," Frazier recalled. "I'll always be a Bears fan because of my allegiance to the McCaskey family."
Now, as Frazier prepares to face off against the Patriots in Super Bowl LVII, he's hoping his players will bring home a championship ring. And while they may not know much about his playing days, safety Julian Love is well aware of Frazier's status as an NFL legend.
"He's iconic," Love said. "If you're part of that team, you're a superstar."
Frazier's Seahawks are looking to make history with their first Super Bowl title since 2014, and they'll need all hands on deck if they're going to take down the mighty Patriots. Will Frazier and his crew be able to bring home the championship? Only time will tell.
