Bears tab Emery as GM
Football Betting Lines
01/28/2012 -
Lake Forest, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bears announced on Saturday
that they have hired Phil Emery as the team's fifth general manager in
franchise history.
Emery joins the Bears with 14 years of NFL experience under his belt,
including serving the past three seasons as director of college scouting for
the Kansas City Chiefs.
This will be Emery's second stint with Chicago. From 1998-2004, he served as
an area scout for the team. During that time, the Bears drafted wide receiver
Marty Booker, defensive cornerstone Brian Urlacher, cornerback Charles Tillman
and linebacker Lance Briggs.
After leaving the Bears, Emery was hired as director of college scouting for
the Atlanta Falcons, where he served from 2004-2008.
Over that span, two of the Falcons' three first round draft picks developed
into Pro Bowl caliber players, in wide receiver Roddy White and quarterback
Matt Ryan.
Emery began his football career as a graduate assistant at Central Michigan
from 1981-82. From there, he went on to become the strength and
conditioning/offensive line coach at Western New Mexico for three seasons
before becoming the defensive line coach at Georgetown College from 1984-85.
He made his final collegiate stop as the director of strength and conditioning
and as an associate professor at the U.S. Naval Academy from 1991-98, where
the midshipmen took home the Aloha Bowl in 1996.
Emery replaces longtime general manager Jerry Angelo, who was let go earlier
this month as part of sweeping changes in the Bears front office after the
team got off to a 7-3 start this past season, but lost five of its final six
games to finish 8-8, missing the playoffs for the fourth time in the past
five seasons.
