LAKE FOREST, Ill. - The Chicago Bears hired Ryan Pace on Thursday to be their general manager, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Pace was formerly the director of player personnel with the Saints for two seasons after six years with that franchise as their head of pro scouting.
He will succeed Phil Emery, who was fired on Dec. 29 following a 25-29 mark through his three seasons with Chicago in that position.
His first task will be to find a head coach for the five-win Bears, who relieved Marc Trestman of his duty following the regular season, which found the team miss the playoffs for their fourth-straight and seventh out of eight seasons.
He will assist team chairman George McCaskey, president Ted Phillips, and Ernie Accorsi, who was brought on recently as a special adviser to help with the search.
