The Bears have done things one way for a long time, allowing their GM to be the head of football operations.
But maybe it’s time to change that thinking.
Maybe it’s time to make the head coach the alpha at Halas Hall.
This is happening across the league. Belichick, of course, but also Sean Payton, Kyle Shanahan, Pete Carroll, Andy Reid, etc. Some of the more successful organizations are no longer led by a personnel man, but by a football coach.
