(670 The Score) On the day they fired John Fox and embarked on a new coaching search, the Bears made another big move with their future in mind.
The Bears on Monday gave general manager Ryan Pace a two-year contract extension. His deal now runs through the 2021 season after he initially signed a five-year deal in January 2015. Team president Ted Phillips made the announcement at an afternoon press conference, hours after Pace had informed Fox he was fired.
The Bears are just 14-34 with no playoff appearances in Pace’s three seasons leading the football operations department. Chicago was 5-11 this season.
“I need to point the finger at myself as well,” Pace said of the Bears’ struggles.
Phillips approached Pace about the extension, and it was finalized earlier Monday. Pace confirmed he will have the final decision-making power in hiring a new coach after working collaboratively with chairman George McCaskey and Phillips.
