This is one that came out of nowhere.

Titans Director of Player Personnel. Sounds like he is on the Giants and Vikings radar too. Spent 6 years in Patriots org.





A Giants article about him since there are no Bears specific ones yet.

Good chops in Tennessee. Connection with Flores in New England, might have been requested or suggested by Flores during his interview (as well as McKenzie).

No offense but I don't think the Bears and Polian are taking suggestions from prospective head coaches. I believe Polian put this list together on his own.

I don’t know if he actually suggested them (and I think Mackenzie might be more about due diligence on Flores to see what really happened in Miami) but if you’re taking an exhaustive approach to finding a GM and a head coach candidate that impresses you mentions a GM candidate you hadn’t previously considered, why wouldn’t you check him out?

None taken. I didn't mean Flores made any sort of demands, just that he might have mentioned working with these guys and the Bears would be smart to consider them. The Bears are interviewing mostly guys who are in the Polian orbit and they're not in it so the idea had to come from somewhere.
