Kevin Warren, president and CEO of the Chicago Bears, confirmed that general manager Ryan Poles will retain his position and lead the search for a new head coach following the firing of Matt Eberflus. Despite Warren's assurances, his dominant presence at the press conference raised questions about Poles' authority.

Warren acknowledged the mishandling of Eberflus' dismissal, which occurred shortly after a press conference where he discussed a 'normal' workday. The situation has sparked criticism regarding the Bears' leadership and their approach to the upcoming coaching search.
