The Football Grim Reaper was waiting at Halas Hall on Black Monday and he brought his scythe down on both general manager Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy. The Nagy news was expected, but Pace getting axed was a welcome surprise, because the best thing for the Chicago Bears franchise is bringing in a new GM and head coach to work together from the start.
Once the new GM is hired he will report directly to Chairman George McCaskey, and that’s a new wrinkle in how the Bears operate. In the past the GM would report to Team President and CEO Ted Phillips.
