Chicagobears.com is saying the Bears have 4 interviews coming up: ".. Here's a closer look at the four candidates who will interview with the Bears: Phil Emery Chiefs director of college scouting Emery first entered the NFL as an area scout with the Bears from 1998-2004. He later served as director of college scouting with the Falcons from 2004-08 before working as a regional scout for Atlanta leading up to the 2009 draft. Emery has spent the past three seasons as Kansas City's director of college scouting. The Garden City, Mich., native served as director of strength and conditioning services as well as an associate professor at the U.S. Naval Academy from 1991-98. He was responsible for the development, administration and supervision of all strength and conditioning activities for 4,000 Midshipmen. Jason Licht Patriots director of pro personnel Licht is in his 16th NFL season. He re-joined the Patriots personnel department in 2009 after previously spending four seasons (1999-2002) with New England. In 2008, Licht served as a personnel executive for the NFC Champion Cardinals after spending five seasons with the Eagles as vice president of player personnel (2006-07) and assistant director of player personnel (2003-05). Licht first joined the Patriots personnel department in 1999 as a college scout. In June 2001, he became the team's national scout, responsible for evaluating top college prospects and NFL players. After the Patriots' Super Bowl XXXVI championship in February 2002, Licht was promoted to assistant director of player personnel, a position he held through the 2002 season. Jimmy Raye Chargers director of player personnel Raye oversees the Chargers' pro and college scouting departments and assists on player personnel matters. He joined San Diego in 1996, spending four seasons as a scout from 1996-99 and eight as director of college scouting from 2000-07. Raye was a wide receiver with the Los Angeles Rams in 1991 and later went to training camp with the Chargers in 1992 and Houston Oilers in 1993. His father, Jimmy Raye II, played for the Eagles in 1969 and spent 34 years as an NFL assistant, most recently with the 49ers in 2010. Marc Ross Giants director of college scouting Ross is in his fifth season as Giants director of college scouting. He joined the organization in 2007 and ran his first draft in 2008. Ross first worked in the NFL as a public relations intern with the Giants in 1995. He later joined the Eagles personnel department in 1996 before serving as the team's eastern regional scout from 1997-2000, when at age 27 he became the NFL's youngest college scouting director. While Emery, Licht, Raye and Ross are scheduled for interviews, Bears director of player personnel Tim Ruskell also remains an in-house candidate to replace Angelo. The team has not ruled out additional candidates." I don't know what to make of any of these

The Cutler trade was nearly a gimme. All he had to do was outbid everyone else

I think Angelo's draft record is overblown. He's never been a great drafter, but Iwouldn't call him horrible either. The major issue has been him ignoring the OL. But he has drafted Pro Bowlers in: Tillman, VAsher, T Harris, M Brown, Briggs, Hester, and Forte. Also, guys like Alex Brown, Melton, Moore, Olsen, Manning, M Anderson, Benson, Orton, C Harris, Tank, Berrian, and Columbo are/were solid NFL players. ......who mostly aren't here anymore. He hasnt had a good defensive pick since when, Moore? Other then Melton who is still developing

Angelo was good at 1/3 of his job: wow-ing FA's or pulling the trigger on a big trade for a franchise QB. Hes horrible at drafting, and in this league, you have to be good at it. Well, maybe not horrible, but 1/2 of what he should be.

I'd take the Bears GM position in a heart beat, and I'd do it with no homerism involved. to say nobody wants the position, or even nobody good, is pretty nuts I would think

thats because they do

I think he was more wide open the linehan, but back then had Randy Moss

Tice did well in MPLS when he was the OC/HC, it wouldn't be beyond him to be a passable if not good OC

Ryno is saying Tice looks like a human portable toilet

sorry vance :(

agreed.

That's pathetic. And infuriating. It said something about people internally wanting status quo. That's called job security. Makes sense, it is up to Ted to see past that. DO YOU TRUST TED TO SEE THAT FAR???? I'm not sure I do. and if "people internally" means Lovie Smith, then what? I'm worried.

a drutha from a notha motha

...and what druthers they would be!!

The nfl seems to want NO vs GB

we're going to tank this aren't we http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-bears-quiet-on-saturday-but-could-they-look-at-ruskell-for-gm-20120107,0,775292.story

I like him in rd 3

Is this supposed to be green font because I can never tell these days. it's as real as you want it to be, buddy.

The whole mis handling of Greg Olsen was stupid regardless of his perceived trade value

What a crappy start to the weekend

Your right, I made it up, but only because I don't care what VJ "will get", his production coupled with Cutler would be worth it compared to the alternative, which is a whole lotta nuthing. And that includes drafting Floyd

So. VJ will get $7 max. And he's worth that paired with Cutler.

VJ isn't going to get #1 money from anyone

Beautiful.

yes, he's hardly the main target in SD. I'd be more interested to see how many times VJ has been thrown to compared to those other guys raw mentioned
