On January 10th, 2022, the Chicago Bears fired GM Ryan Pace. Most people thought the news came from the usual suspects like Adam Schefter, Ian Rapoport, and Tom Pelissero. Those who paid attention would’ve seen it come from a lesser-known stalwart of the local Bears blogging community. Jeff Hughes of Da Bears Blog went on the Irish Bears Network podcast, revealing that the team was parting ways with Pace. It became official not long after. Well, Hughes had an update on Thursday regarding Pace’s replacement, Ryan Poles.
