Bears sticking with GM Ryan Poles; will lead search for coach

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Three days after the Chicago Bears changed course at head coach by firing Matt Eberflus following a 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions, the organization has decided to retain the rest of their football leadership moving forward.

Ryan Poles will remain the Bears' general manager, team president and CEO Kevin Warren said during a Monday news conference. Poles will serve as the "point person" and lead the team's search to find its next head coach, according to Warren.

"Ryan is young. He's talented. He's bright. He's hard-working," Warren said.
