By training camp many will have. 

I'd be stunned if they hired Leslie Frazier to be the head coach. 

But if they do, I'd also be assured he's a far more mentally stable individual than Matt Nagy.

Bummed to hear that Dodds withdrew his name as that was my first choice.

Though I find it a bit weird how he's done this now 3 times in the past couple years 

I mean why even entertain interviews then in the first place?

I think it's going to be either Morocco Brown or Omar Khan for GM which would be fine with me.

Polian being involved makes me think the former especially since he has Bears ties having worked for the team early on in his career.

I mean to trip on THAT bar you'd have to dig a few feet just to get to it... Then to over it. 

Leslie would be a crap hire but i doubt any GM would want to tie themselves to him, so that likely helps ensure its a no go.

It's a real concern that in the last two days we have only interviewed two candidates...this isn't a race to appoint someone however we should be gathering information on these guys to make sure we are giving ourselves time to adjust our strategy...Giants have now interviewed their two GM finalists so could appoint one today and start interviewing HC candidates...Jags have their 2nd interview with Eberflus today and as much as I highly doubt he just takes that job without speaking to us if we don't have a GM in place by Monday he should be seeing that as a concern...

Either speed this thing up or admit that the "search" is a shame and Polian has already said we want Morocco Brown for GM and be done with it.

To me it's not a rush. The Jags and Giants aren't a beacon of football operation. No need for the Bears to hurry unless they're high on their finalists which they don't appear to be

My worry is they don't know who they want as finalists because they aren't getting to know these guys quickly enough...again the appointment doesn't need to be a rush I agree with that but you at least need to know the pool your picking from.

On the @mullyhaugh show, Michael Lombardi alluded that the #Bears GM interview process includes the team asking the candidates questions that also relate to a director of scouting and/or a director of pro personnel type of job too.

They've already nabbed Eberflus as moving on in the process. For all we know there's a GM who's been notified too. If there have been no second GM interviews this time next week I'd be concerned

This is a good thing

Have to agree. While I hold our FO in low regard they have done this process before so they know the drill and Polian is the one holding their hands. 

I just hope they are actually doing their due diligence and not just taking their time with a predetermined pick.
