The Chicago Bears have won 15 games under the three-year leadership of general manager Ryan Poles. While a 15-36 record might get most GM’s fired, the Bears chose to let Poles hire his second head coach this offseason (and the second head coach he’s hired without an in-person interview).

Poles was hired on Jan. 25, 2022, two days before the Bears hired Matt Eberflus as head coach. Four days after Eberflus was fired on Nov. 29 with the third-worst win percentage (.304) in franchise history, questions about Poles' job security and his role in hiring the next coach were raised during a news conference.
