Thorough. Perhaps a bit wayward. Consider the reality that, according to reports, Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Eberflus has been promised a second interview for the head coaching job before the Bears have hired a GM. And not only before the Bears have hired a GM but before they have come anywhere close to finishing their first-phase interviews for that job. McCaskey stressed last week that his preference was to hire a GM before moving on to hire a coach. But if that was the preference, why haven’t the Bears accelerated their efforts to get the GM position filled before doing so much extensive work exploring head coaching candidates? At some point, after the two hires are made, McCaskey, Phillips and Polian will have to provide more insight into the processes they used and the strategy that guided them. At this stage, the list of questions that need to be answered is growing.
