Sugashane Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Here's a question. We have talked about what Poles was thinking in regards to Fields, saying Fields wasn't picked by him so he may not be "his guy." What kind of slack do you think Poles and Eberflus get from Warren if he is hired? Clearly this year sucks but it was a tank year, and Poles did a good job of getting out of the most expensive deals. But if we end up 6-11 next year does Warren go after his own guys or make them tie themselves to Fields? Either he thrives or Warren finds someone who can develop a rookie.

I think he basically sees it as a fresh start for everyone…3/4 years would be my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkwdw13 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 If Warren or who ever is hired, they should have full reign to work as they need. No more of the hamstring anyone, if that is happening currently I don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the role of the new CEO and how hands-on he wants to be with the football operations, but Poles/Flus’ leashes could get a significantly shorter the day the new CEO is hired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the new Pres is any good he’ll know that repeated change is going to stunt growth for his young QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren will be like Phillips. He'll be on the business side. That's how the Bears operate. Their GM is their head of football ops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said far fetched nor that he will be involved, but Phillips was just another guy in the interview room. When this is your structure, that happens. I guess my point is Phillips never WANTED HIS GUYS. Warren likely won't have that same power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last point is notable, because the Bears’ development plans around their proposed new stadium in Arlington Heights includes an extensive real estate development. If he joined the Bears, Warren would instantly become the most qualified individual in the organization to lead the team’s stadium project … The bold part is something that I didn't come across when looking into Warren at first but it is of massive importance given the McCaskey's don't have other business interests like most owners...if they can get into the real estate game and develop the land around the stadium it could generate millions in sales and rentals and provide an additional revenue stream which along with a first class stadium that could attract all sorts of events would put us on par with just about any other franchise when it comes to spending power. Good call-out. I have been geeking out over this point for the last year. I live about 10 minutes from Viking Lakes and I can tell you that it’s amazing. Check it out here: https://www.explorevikinglakes.com/ Where VL is 200 acres, the Arlington Heights parcel is 326, and the Bears have similar aspirations. See what they say about it: https://www.chicagobears.com/arlington-park/ For that reason alone, Warren makes total sense, but as previously articulated, he is the total package. I think he’d be a slam dunk hire. Edited January 7, 2023 by IotaNet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLunatic88 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I admittedly dont know what makes a good President/CEO of a football franchise, but Ive just never really liked Kevin Warren. But then again, maybe thats a good thing in that role? I know he's mostly being hired to be the Captain to steer the New Stadium Ship. I just hope thats what hes focused on, while we let the Football people do their job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
