The Chicago Bears have finally found their new general manager in Kansas City Chiefs assistant director of player personnel Ryan Poles. - Poles was considered a favorite to land the Bears GM job, among others. He was a finalist for both the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants GM vacancies. - Poles was in Chicago on Tuesday for this second interview, and the Bears weren’t going to let him get on a plane to interview with the Vikings for the second time. But there were some conditions, it seems. - According to Jeff Hughes of Da Bears Blog, Poles “demanded” control in the interviewing process for a new head coach, and he got it. - The Bears already have three head coach finalists in Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and former Lions/Colts head coach Jim Caldwell. And Poles is going to conduct those interviews. - - These interviews will be done exclusively by him.
