Former Bears quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton has interviewed for the same position with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The St. Petersburg Times reports that Hamilton and former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt have met with the team about the job. A league source told the Tribune that former Oakland Raiders and New York Jets assistant coach John DeFilippo also has interviewed for the position.

The quarterbacks coach would serve under offensive coordinator Greg Olson, who was the Bears' quarterbacks coach in 2003.

Hamilton was in the mix for a job at the University of Virginia. He coached in the East-West Shrine Game last month. He coached quarterbacks for the Bears for the last three seasons before being fired Jan. 5 with several other coaches. Former Bears coaches Rob Boras, Harry Hiestand and Luke Butkus have found jobs.
