The Chicago Bears are big fans of the way the Colts do things

Recent decisions by the Chicago Bears show that they like the way the Indianapolis Colts have been doing things.

With the conclusion of the NFL’s regular season, comes major decisions by franchises regarding its personnel. Since wrapping up Week 18, teams have fired head coaches, assistant coaches, and general managers.

There are currently seven vacant head coaching positions and three open general manager spots throughout the league. These teams have already begun the process of interviewing candidates.

For the most part, the candidates are current coaches or front office members from other teams. With each announced interview, everyone gets to see who has been earning respect throughout the league.

About three days into the process, an interesting development has been the Chicago Bears’ interest in multiple individuals from the Indianapolis Colts organization.

Chicago Bears will interview three members from Colts organization

It has been reported that the Bears will interview Indy’s defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus, for the head coaching position. Chicago will also interview the Colts Director of College Scouting, Morocco Brown, and Indy’s assistant general manager, Ed Dodds, for the general manager position.

This shows that the Bears have been observing Indianapolis throughout the years, and they’re fond of the moves Indy has made.

Brown has been with the Colts since 2016, remaining in his position through the general manager change. Indianapolis has drafted several Pro Bowlers and key contributors during his time, so it’s fair to say he’s performed well.

Dodds joined Indianapolis in 2017, coming in with Chris Ballard. He is regarded as one of the “most respected scouts” and has previously refused general manager positions.

With the interest throughout the league in Eberflus, Brown, and Dodds, at least one of them will likely be on the move and the Colts would have to find capable replacements.

While it can be bittersweet losing members of the organization that have had great contributions, the market’s focus on Indianapolis shows that the franchise has been doing something right.

Now Indy must continue to move in the right direction, even if it means losing talented people along the way.
