Chiefs' Phil Emery Might Be The Early Favorite For Bears GM Job

PrintThe Chicago Bears have now interviewed five candidates for their vacant general manager position after firing Jerry Angelo shortly after the regular season ended. One of those candidates is the Kansas City Chiefs director of college scouting, Phil Emery.
And at least a couple of people believe he's the current favorite for the job. (Let's push aside the fact that every coach/GM search has about a dozen "favorites" before they decide on someone.)
Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times cites two league sources who say they have a hunch that Emery is the favorite.
Emery was with the Atlanta Falcons before landing with the Chiefs in GM Scott Pioli's first year in Kansas City. He was an area scout with the Bears back in the late '90s and early '00s so that's his Chicago connection.

I personally don't know much on the guy
What has he done here in KC? Do you see this being a loss to the organization if he leaves?
Dimitroff didn't think enough of him in Atlanta
He was expendable there. I’m sure Pioli can replace him with one of his own.
Nicknames I have coined:
Jamaal Charles = 'Haley's Comet'
Shaun Smith = 'Big Nasty'
Kelly Gregg = 'Old Gregg'
Marc Ross
They should hire him. He has done a great job with the Giants. Some very good UDFA’s and late round draft choices. Good Star Ledger write-ups on him.
Plus, he went to Princeton.
