The Chicago Bears GM search is entering its final days (or even hours). Multiple Chicago media outlets report that the Bears have gone through two interviews with both finalists, including Phil Emery, the Kansas City Chiefs director of college scouting.
Licht's interview was on Thursday and Emery's was on Friday. Emery is considered the favorite for the job, according to multiple reports.
I've been reading through the Chicago papers and I found this line from the Chicago Tribune kinda funny: "It may or may not be significant that [Emery] was the final candidate to visit this week, and the final candidate to visit last week in the first wave of interviews."
I don't know what that means either.
So now we wait. I bet we hear something by early next week.

Yah same here.
I thought he could be an interesting candidate. People in Pittsburg were pretty furious when they heard he wasnt returning.

It was an excellent hire for Indy
They couldn’t have done better.
Makes you wonder about the Manning situation considering Arians history…the plot thickens.

was about to say that I’d not be surprised to learn about it one way or another today … and now we know

Yep here it is
Congrats Phil Emery!
Emery is the Bears GM

Mixed feelings.
His hiring would be an endorsement of what the Chiefs are doing in the draft, but at the same time it would mean they’re losing someone valuable.

Joel we have heard all about this Phil Emery stuff,
But who would lead the list to replace him if he does go to the Bears?
