The Chicago Bears announced the hiring of Ryan Pace on Thursday as general manager, marking the club's second move at the position in three years. Pace replaces Phil Emery, who was fired Dec. 29 after just three seasons at the helm. Pace, 37, joins the Bears after working 14 seasons with the New Orleans Saints, spending the past 13 years as a member of the player personnel department. Pace worked two seasons for the Saints as director of player of personnel, leading the club in all facets of scouting and the evaluation of college and pro prospects.

Just watched Pace's press conference and just listened to him being interviewed on the radio. I think Pace has handled these hurdles very well. Of course this doesn't ensure that Pace will be successful here, but it beats the alternative. He appears to have his act together and his priorities in order. He certainly has a big job in front of them.
