Ryan Poles is getting a second interview in Chicago. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports (via Twitter) that the Chiefs’ executive director of player personnel has been asked to interview a second time for the Bears GM job.
Poles is already a finalist for the Vikings GM job. He will meet with the Bears on Tuesday and the Vikings on Wednesday, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero (via Twitter). The other finalist for the Minnesota job, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, will meet with the organization again on Tuesday (per Albert Breer on Twitter).
Poles has spent much of his career with the Chiefs, working his way up from director of college scouting to executive director of player personnel, where he works alongside GM Brett Veach and assistant GM Mike Borgonzi.
Last offseason, the Chiefs executive was considered for the Panthers GM job. Besides interest from the Vikings and Bears, Poles was also a finalist for the Giants GM gig (a job that ultimately went to Bills assistant GM Joe Schoen).
Way to go Georgie, another Chiefs guy. You really are stupid with football
Pretty sure even Georgie’s right pinky knows more about football then you do. Poles is highly respected in the league which just everyone knows.
Please Bears, no more Ryan P’s.
Don’t know why everyone is excited. They will hire last and end up with the Janitor from Lake Forest College, Because he’s had the inside track all along. He’s in house and cheap.
George was right about one thing.
Some of you are going to complain no matter who is hired.
I doubt you even know who Poles is enough to offer a legit complaint.
Exactly which McCaskey are you? You should at least have the guts to use your real name.
Well.. Yes and no. We probably don’t know enough about Poles… But we definitely know how absolutely inept George McCaskey has been. 0-6 on GMs and HCs and 3-19 against the Packers.
And the Bears were one of the worst franchises in the late 1960s and 1970s until they brought on Finks, Ryan and Ditka.
And for all his faults, Pace didn’t leave the cupboard bare like Emery.
No one will know how the GM does until they are in the role. No use in shaking your fist at a cloud, thinking it means it’s going to rain.
Bears opening statement and question to GMs.
We don’t have a 1st round pick in 2022, Mack looks like he’s declining fast with a salary hit that cripples us for the next few years, offensive line lacks talent and we have a safety from Alabama that doesn’t like to tackle guys…Can you fix this in 2 years?
