Rewind back to January 13th. The Chicago Bears concluded a rollercoaster of a season with a disastrous season-ending press conference. Doubts swirled around the organization as many questioned general manager Ryan Pace’s job status. with some also wondering how safe head coach Matt Nagy was too. Yet, owner George McCaskey and team president Ted Phillips took the “stage” to announce that both would keep their jobs. The decision itself caused outrage, but their words and lack of “conviction” irked most onlookers more than anything.
Despite the black eye, the team marched on with their off-season. One, that frankly started off as a disaster.
