Bears request permission to interview Saints Assistant GM Jeff Ireland

I think it is a good thing that Ireland is considered elsewhere, it shows we are doing things right.

As we speak, Chicago is requesting permissions to interview head coach and general manager candidates. If I was Ireland, I will be only interested in the position if I have final say on hiring the head coach, my future will depend on that hire.

So Ireland can go, he can also be offered the position, but can come back to the saints and ask them for something similar in order to stay. Basically a promotion is not out of the question.

And in case he leaves, I would not have a problem bringing Rick Spielman who was just released by the vikings. They always have solid drafts and their main problem has been finding a quarterback, I think he can get help for that.

It's not the end of the world....Life goes on and good people will leave for promotions when your organization is doing things right.
