Let us start by taking you back in time. Back to the year 2017, when the Chicago Bears were led by two different mindsets. First, Ryan Pace was brought in to shake up the organization. The Bears hired Pace in 2015 as a fresh, young General Manager who they hoped would bring a new philosophy to the franchise.
Second, Ryan Pace turned around and hired John Fox as his first head coach. Not everyone remembers this, but Pace was accompanied by George McCaskey and Ted Phillips on his coaching interviews. Although everyone said he had full authority to hire his coach, one must wonder if he was swayed into hiring John Fox.
