With second interviews reported for Ryan Poles (general manager) and Matt Eberflus (coach), one question still looms: Will the Bears really hire a head coach before a GM?
It’s difficult to tell which direction the Bears’ rambling, concurrent searches for a general manager and coach are headed two weeks after GM Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy were fired. But it at least appears to be forward. Both searches will pick up steam this week, with the conclusion of initial interviews and the beginning of second interviews for both jobs. The Bears are scheduled to interview Colts college scouting director Morocco Brown and Steelers vice president of football and business administration Omar Khan on Monday for the GM opening, according to NFL Network. Ryan Poles, the Chiefs’ executive director of player personnel, is scheduled for a second interview Tuesday. On the coaching-opening front, the Bears are expected to interview Saints defensive coordinator and former Raiders head coach Dennis Allen on Tuesday. Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus is expected to get a second interview Wednesday.
