Jason Licht or Phil Emery? Ted Phillips must pick. (File photos)
The Bears concluded their general manager interviews Friday and a new GM is expected to be in place in a matter of days.
Chiefs director of college scouting Phil Emery visited Halas Hall for his second go-round with upper management and then was scheduled to leave town.
Emery and Patriots director of pro personnel Jason Licht are the two finalists for the job. Licht had a second interview Thursday. Outsiders have portrayed Emery as the favorite. It may or may not be significant that he was the final candidate to visit this week, and the final candidate to visit last week in the first wave of interviews.
The next step for the Bears is for President Ted Phillips and Chairman George McCaskey to make a choice. Then they need to get ownership to rubber stamp the selection.
After that, they will offer the job to the man they chose and commence contract negotiations.
