To call the Bears' coaching search puzzling would be as much of an understatement as calling team President Ted Phillips polarizing. The McCaskeys should devote every waking second to finding a general manager-coach combination with which they are familiar and offers them the stability they admire in the family-owned Steelers and Giants; stability that has eluded the Bears since George McCaskey became chairman in 2011 — two fired GMs and two former head coaches ago. The Bears thought they had a compatible duo in Phil Emery and Trestman but never anticipated Trestman's shortcoming managing players because nobody at Halas Hall had worked with him before January 2013.
