| Good morning, Chicago. Chicago Bears President Kevin Warren sat alongside general manager Ryan Poles on Monday at Halas Hall and said they would work “in tandem” to find the team’s next head coach. Warren said Poles will remain the GM and will be the “point person” in identifying the replacement for Matt Eberflus, who became the first head coach fired midseason in Bears history. Citing the Bears’ salary cap space, young roster, upcoming draft capital and, of course, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, Kevin Warren called the Bears opening “the most coveted job in the National Football League this year.” This will be the first Bears head coach search for Warren, the former Big Ten Commissioner and Minnesota Vikings executive who was named team president in January 2023. When Warren was asked initially who would have the final say on a coaching decision, he gave a 112-word answer about how he and Poles would work together, spending multiple hours a day identifying the right person for the Bears. Pressed on what would happen if they had dissenting opinions, he eventually said Poles would have the final voice.
