How in the hell can George "trust" Teddy as Teddy has failed at every GM pick to date? How? Someone explain that one to me?
I would offer this. There are decisions and direction given on the non-football operations side of the business . We tend to see only the most visible football stuff, like games, coaches, wins, losses, players. Phillips is probably a great business man with respect to business plans and strategy and has probably made the organization a lot of money. The trust that McCaskey speaks of might be from 30 years of doing a good job there and 30 years of being an honest business man. I agree that GM and Coach choices were not good in terms of wins and losses. Nagy failed, and Pace failed too, on wins and losses, and more importantly the horrible trend in wins and losses.

100% agree, Teddy may be great at overseeing operations of the Bears, but that's different than picking GM's, something he has historically been a disaster. George should realize that and keep him the hell away from the picking of a GM or a HC for that matter.

I'd still take Dobbs over him. Dobbs is my #1. Bears are looking at a lot of good gm options though. They'll probably hire Ireland lol.

When do you think they'll make a gm decision? I was thinking next Monday- Tuesday
All depends on how quick they get through interviews: really have no clue at this point.

Omar Kahn of the steelers next up for GM interview.
Just one of? I thought it was for sure him like how DeCosta was next in line for the Ravens GM job for years

If not, definitely smart of the Bears to find out either way

Why are the Bears interviewing candidates without a GM?

Because it would be stupid to wait. I am sure as part of the interviews they are asking GMs who they would prefer as HCs and then vice versa.

I would think then whoever gets hired first (hopefully GM) will then take part in the final interviews for the HC as this first round of interviews is just whittling thr list down.

I suspect too that they will be able to find out which candidates are on more people's list. If 70% of GMs had Leftwich as one of their top choices that helps inform who gets final interviews for HC.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Bears
Honestly, this is the most impressed I've come away from a Bears HC / GM search at this stage of the game.

Ultimately the results will be what matter, but the quality of people the Bears are interviewing and the wide net they are casting feels like this is being done right for the first time.
