Chicago Bears fans should be very concerned about this comment that GM Ryan Poles made during his end-of-year press conference.

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles has dumped fuel on rumors that his team could trade for its next head coach in 2025.

Poles kept it mostly vague Tuesday, talking about needing to “look in the mirror” and review past hiring processes to identify his missteps without specifying much of what he intended to correct.

Here's what we learned from Bears general manager Ryan Poles as the Bears' head coaching search officially began on Tuesday.

The Bears’ audience was more than just the fan base; it was their growing list of potential head coaches around the league.

With the regular season in the rearview mirror, the Chicago Bears have turned their focus toward a coaching search that will be one of the most significant processes in team history. The Bears have heavy lifting ahead to close the gap on three division rivals who qualified for the playoffs.

It was made clear that Poles is the point person in charge of the head coaching search—one that will be extensive in order to get right.

The Chicago Bears coaching search began on Monday, but interviews have started being scheduled on Tuesday. According to multiple reports, the Bears have three interviews scheduled this week while one request has been denied.

The Chicago Bears interviewed former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel on Wednesday about their head coaching vacancy. On Thursday, the Bears will interview for Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.
