Everyone had the weekend to digest the stunning way that the Bears lost in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, and time to let the firing of head coach Matt Eberflus sink in. Monday, it was time for Bears’ CEO and President Kevin Warren and for general Ryan Poles to meet with reporters

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Ryan Poles will remain the Chicago Bears general manager and serve as the “point person” in the search for a head coach to replace the fired Matt Eberflus, team president Kevin Warren said on Monday. Warren said Poles would have the “final say” if the two have differing opinions on who should get the job.

The Chicago Bears cut ties with coach Matt Eberflus last week, but there will not be wholesale changes throughout the organization's masthead. On Monday, Bears president Kevin Warren confirmed that general manager Ryan Poles will remain at his post and serve as the "point person" as they begin searching for a new coach.
