Part 3/6:
One major concern for fans is the Bears' protracted search for a new head coach, especially when compared to the swift decisions being made by other teams. The New England Patriots and the Las Vegas Raiders, for example, have been aggressive in their hiring processes, having narrowed their candidates swiftly. This left many Bears fans wondering how long it would take for their team to settle on a new leader.
The fear is that if the Bears take too long to make a decision, they may lose out on other qualified candidates while they waste time interviewing numerous individuals. Some commentators criticized the Bears for interviewing upwards of fourteen candidates, arguing that a more focused approach of five or six would have been more beneficial.
