Remove Ted, put in a good football operations guy and let him evaluate whether or not Pace should stay.
Problem is.... who is a good football operations guy that has done it before? A new guy would probably be no better than Pace.
If he's interested in the job , they should go get Polian .
And Pace better not trade down . You trade down and you wind up with avg " a dime a dozen " players - something this team has too many of . Keep the pick and draft someone who's dominant . A game changer . Someone other teams fear ... which is something this team doesn't have 1 of rt now .
Polian has already declined any interest. Fire Phillips, then ask Eric DaCosta if he'd like to be not just the Bears GM but the President of Football Ops.
It's gotten to be so much of a foregone conclusion that Focks is gone come Black Monday that now all conversations have turned to Pace and were now in rinse and repeat mode on that.

If Foxy is not gone at the end of the season it will be a huge shocker to the whole Bears nation

I can't in my wildest dream imagine the McCaskeys would be dumb enough not to fire him. A very, very empty SF on Christmas Eve should serve as their Ghost of Christmas Future.

+1 And they'd better be concerned about the new coaching staff (not just HC) that is hired THIS time around. The fan base is dwindling for the Bears franchise, and another 4 years of crapfests and clown shows will damage the McCaskey cash cow, IMHO. As a sports entertainment business, I think they should have a healthy fear of the consequences of putting yet another failed coaching staff in place here.

Polian and DeCosta are the only candidates I can think of but I don’t know much about NFL executives so there may be other good candidates out there. Just don’t hobble the incoming guy by forcing him to keep Pace. No incoming VP worth having is gonna want to be saddled with a GM not his choosing and one with Pace’s record.
As for the draft, I disagree with you there. The one card the Bears will have to play is that they will have a very high draft pick and NOT need to draft a QB. I’d sell that pick to the highest bidder for sure and pick up maybe an extra 2nd at minimum. Remember we only have 5 picks left so we need more.
Most players in this league cancel each other out on the field ( stalemate ) - it's the dominant players who are the difference between wins and losses imo .

It makes no sense to do it now. Give him his HC and see what happens. If Things don't Change, you fire him and his new HC and start over from scratch - again.
