This should put fake news to rest... If I was the Bears, I would confirm before letting him go. I see it as you, but with tweets or articles on it from notable sources, you never know.

I think management circles know exactly what is going on, it's fans are confusing the information and creating rumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Lambert has an article about this. Said Brad Biggs confirmed it. It is out there if you do some digging, took 10 seconds to google.

We have heard from a lot of people but not the NFL or ATL Falcons on this matter. I have never seen this context since they installed the Rooney Rule. Why has this situation never happened before?

We have heard from a lot of people but not the NFL or ATL Falcons on this matter. I have never seen this context since they installed the Rooney Rule. Why has this situation never happened before? We heard from Matt Ryan and he said the GM and coach have final roster authority. Progress Update: Ryan noted the team has made strong progress in the GM search, having interviewed multiple candidates, including Joe Douglas, Mike Bradway, and others, as of late January 2026. Role Definition: Ryan stated he is not doing scouting or running meetings, and that the GM's responsibilities remain unchanged. Support System: His focus is on acting as a support system to ensure the new GM and Head Coach have the resources to build a winning team. Philosophy: Ryan expressed a desire to find a GM who shares a philosophy focused on building a strong, "tough" team in the trenches. Process: The search is focusing on changing the structure of team operations rather than just "recycling names". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
