Without the Hail Mary pass where would the Bears be now? It's easy to see its impact when they haven't won since then but what would the record be without it?

There’s nobody else to blame. Some Bears fans have begun to question whether third-year general manager Ryan Poles is the right man for the job. The Bears fired coach Matt Eberflus in November.

The Lions (13-2) beat the Chicago Bears (4-11) on Sunday afternoon to complete the series sweep over the NFC North rival.

There are a lot of names floating around as the Bears' next head coach. That includes former Seattle Seahawks guru Pete Carroll, among other notable names. However, one name stands out particularly for Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero: Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.

“He runs more than we do,” Seahawks linebacker Derick Hall, who played for Carroll last year, told the Sun-Times on Thursday. “He comes out on the field and he’ll be running 100 [-yard dashes] and throwing deep balls.

Chicago Bears fans are not happy about general manager Ryan Poles seemingly deflecting blame for the team's struggles in 2024. The post Bears Fans Roast GM Ryan Poles for ‘Horrible’ Pregame Comments appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The Bears have never made the obvious choice for head coach under chairman George McCaskey. Can they get it right this time?

First, Chicago fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. And then its head coach, during a season for the first time, when the Bears let Matt Eberflus go the day after a Thanksgiving loss at Detroit. They’re 0-3 with interim coach Thomas Brown.

Insider reports that the Bears are not interested in older head coach like Pete Carroll and are more likely to go with younger leader

In his press conference about the coaching search on Dec. 2, CEO Kevin Warren said the Bears' head coaching job would be the "most coveted job" in the NFL during the offseason.
