It appears to be 2025-or-bust for Poles, who has formed a strong bond with Warren in their two years together, but wasn’t hired by him.

Ryan Poles isn’t going anywhere. Bears president Kevin Warren confirmed Monday that the team’s current general manager “will remain the general manager” and spearhead the upcoming head coaching search following Friday’s firing of Matt Eberflus.

The Chicago Bears cut ties with coach Matt Eberflus last week, but there will not be wholesale changes throughout the organization's masthead. On Monday, Bears president Kevin Warren confirmed that general manager Ryan Poles will remain at his post and serve as the "point person" as they begin searching for a new coach.
