His resume is such that McCaskey would have an easier time announcing a firing than a decision to retain Pace, who was hired in 2015.Д«ut if you believe half of what you hear, thereвЂ™s a growing chance Pace remains and is even promoted to a president role overseeing football operations. The Bears are 48-66 including the postseason under Pace with one winning season, two playoff appearances, no playoff victories and one executive of the year award.

And there are others around the league convinced Pace and Nagy will be fired. Until McCaskey sits down for a Zoom call, which also will put him in position to discuss the teamвЂ™s purchase of land in Arlington Heights and a new stadium plan, anything is possible. Nothing is certain until Chairman George McCaskey, who has not spoken publicly since last January, outlines his vision for the franchise. There is no doubt from anyone Nagy will be fired - perhaps as soon as Sunday evening - but league sources have said for some time word is Pace will find a way to make it to an eighth season with the organization, and that buzz has only amplified the last two weeks. That is the undercurrent of discussion among folks around the league with speculation general manager Ryan Pace will remain employed. The Bears pinned their faith in the power structure at Halas Hall over the last four years and the idea theyвЂ™ve been on the right track all along on some form of the word вЂњcollaboration.вЂќ As Year 4 of the Matt Nagy era comes to an end Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings at US Bank Stadium, one of the main collaborators may well survive. It would appear at this point the great Chicago Bears collaboration has its limits.
