Over a week into the Bears head coach and general manager search, where do things stand with the top candidates? Who else stands to be involved?
Here’s a look at where things stand, how long the rest of the process might take and what variables could come into play that alter the timeline:The Bears are taking a deliberate approach while interviewing general manager and head coach candidates simultaneously. They are doing two interviews per day, but managed to knock out three on Saturday.
The following candidates will reportedly interview this week: Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, and Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.It’s only been eight days since Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy were fired. In past searches, the Bears didn’t cast a wide enough net and this time they seem determined to talk to as many candidates as possible. Nothing is abnormal about the timeline so far.
Two things alter hiring timelines in the NFL: competition and playoff games. Both of the Bears’ last two head coach hires were made shortly after the coach they hired lost a playoff game. Daboll, in particular, is drawing a lot of interest, so if the Bills lose Sunday, he could have a head coaching job by Monday.
When it comes to the general manager position, the key is to watch who becomes a finalist for another team. Tuesday, Bills assistant GM Joe Schoen took a second interview with the New York Giants and is considered a finalist there. Schoen interviewed with the Bears on Sunday and if they are serious about hiring him, that could alter their current timetable.
