CHICAGO – Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian said the Chicago Bears are somewhere “in between” a rebuild and a retool after the team went 6-11 this season.
“It’s not going to happen overnight,” Polian told the Waddle & Silvy show on ESPN 1000 in Chicago. “Is it going to take five years? I don’t think so. Not with this regime. We’ll be competitive sooner than later, but it's going to take some time.”
Polian, 79, was hired out of retirement by the Bears to lead their search for a new general manager and head coach after Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy were let go last month.
