"Two days after the Bears' 2011 season ended, team president Ted Phillips

announced why he relieved

general manager Jerry Angelo of his duties and outlined the process of finding a new GM.

At one point, Phillips was asked whether he would ''break the bank'' for a candidate. Initially flustered, Phillips responded: ''We're going to find the right guy, and we'll do what it takes.''

Phil Emery of the Kansas City Chiefs, Jason Licht of the New England Patriots, Jimmy Raye of the San Diego Chargers and Marc Ross of the New York Giants are scheduled to be interviewed for the vacancy. Interim GM Tim Ruskell, the Bears' director of player personnel in 2011, also will be interviewed, and other candidates haven't been ruled out."
