It certainly seems that way. Everyone seems to be waiting on what Harbaugh is doing but it really doesn't make sense how you can be interviewing coaches and GMs at the same time. I would think you would have hired a GM within a week of them being fired so they can be in the interview.


They decided to bring Nagy and Pace back at the end of last year after some consideration, knowing a bad season was likely going to mean the end for both. A reasonable executive would have been preparing a short list of GM candidates for the past 12 months.

The best plan of action would have been to fire Pace and let Nagy be a lame duck. That way you have a GM in place for 11 months before he has to make any major decisions.

I'm sure they've done that....starting with talking to Polian and Dungy.
It doesn't mean they made a GOOD short list.

I'm not so sure. All of the experts thought Pace was coming back until he was fired. That tells me that the Bears weren't doing any back channel work.
