When the Bears hired consultant Ernie Accorsi to head their search for a general manger to replace Phil Emery in 2015, they interviewed four candidates. With Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian heading the search to replace Ryan Pace, they already have interviewed seven candidates — with two scheduled for Tuesday and at least six more on deck.
That might be a byproduct of Zoom rather than the personal style of Accorsi and Polian. But either way, the Bears’ searches for a GM and head coach to replace Pace and Matt Nagy are notable for two things: the number of candidates, and the number of candidates drawing interest from other teams.
