But if I was Ireland, I would be cautious. The bears are already having several interviews for head coaching position. If I will be the new GM, I want to make that decision myself.
He is actually critical of that approach. Ideally, they’ll hire a GM before hiring the HC. But they might pull the trigger on the right HC and Jeff is not keen on that at all.
And here is the issue. Take Brian Flores. If Bears were to hire him, and they actually wanted Jeff, it would never work because he will never work with Flores.
