From the first week of Bears coaching interviews, some breadcrumbs point to some interesting directions.
The Bears want to strike fast – very fast in making their hire. A couple of indicators there:
One is the presence of Chairman George McCaskey and President Ted Phillips joining GM Ryan Pace for the first round of interviews for the next Bears head coach – John DeFilippo, George Edwards, Vic Fangio, Josh McDaniels, Matt Nagy, Pat Shurmur. This was rightly a cause for concern. Bosses involved from the outset of a hiring process necessarily influence that process by their simple being there.
