The Chicago Bears have parted ways with head coach Matt Eberflus, but general manager Ryan Poles will retain his position. Bears president Kevin Warren expressed confidence in Poles, who will lead the search for a new coach while working closely with Warren.

Poles, who joined the Bears in 2022 after a successful stint with the Kansas City Chiefs, has made significant moves, including trading for Montez Sweat and acquiring D.J. Moore. The Bears are looking for a new coach who is a strong leader, with names like Mike Vrabel and Bill Belichick being considered.
