New head coach for 2025 - who should they hire?

A thought just came to mind. I actually think I know what the problem has been to date. No seriously. Been in front of me all along. It just takes months to get to the top. I remember reading that Virginia had interviewed at least one of the previous coaches. Now, my mind is blurry here so maybe interview is wrong. Maybe it was met. I honestly can't remember any more. But in doing so, I am sure she provides her approval. By all accounts, she is a super nice person. I think these coaching hires all have to be nice guys because of her input. She doesn't want the honey bears and I think she is the one that wants a nice guy coach. I think both her and George really are hands off ownership but AFTER they have been hands on in providing input on the coaches. AT that point, the damage is done though.

I wonder if they will truly let Warren down make a decision? I have always been saying that ownership is hands off, but now I think they are hands off in day to day but a factor in who they hire and it has not worked out

If what we're reading this week is correct, George McCaskey is a "hands off" owner.  The president and GM are trusted to run the franchise.  President Ted Phillips & Kevin Warren seem "hands off" with actual football-personnel stuff.  The GM is pretty much trusted to run the show by himself for 99% of the decisions.  That 1% is probably just getting an okay to spend money on big contracts - more major personnel moves where you'd expect oversight.

That is the business model for the Bears.  It seems like a 180 degree difference between owners who are hands on like the Jets' Woody Johnson and the Cowboys' Jerry Jones.  But if the GM hire is bad then this model is screwed.  The Bears (McCaskey) has hired bad GMs.  Of course the jury is still out on this present GM, Ryan Poles.  

1. Is the GM failing to provide quality players who can be coached to a championship level?
2. Is the HC failing to coach the team to it's full-potential, or not?  
3. Are both the GM and the HC failing?

Thomas Brown has a priceless opportunity in these 7 remaining games.  He has taken over a horribly broken offense mid-season, on a team falling apart under a failed head coach.  The remaining schedule is brutal, and the offensive line looks bad.  His rookie QB has so far played like the worst of the first three or four QBs taken in this draft.  If he can get the offense to improve in spite of all of this, it would be a significant accomplishment. 

Even though he is fairly young at 38, he has a Super Bowl win as the assistant head coach of the Rams, in the 2021 season (Super Bowl LVI victory with Sean McVay).  I'm thinking that if TB can showcase something good in these 7 remaining games (even if the Bears lose all of them) he could get an HC gig next season.
