This is a day that has long been in the making within the minds of Chicago Bears fans all across the football world. Even though it hasn’t been fulfilled completely.
For over (23) years Ted Phillips has remained as the Team President and CEO at Halas Hall. Effective today, that is still the case, but there has been a modification. He is, officially and without question, no longer the top football guy at Halas Hall.
Yay?
Per George McCaskey himself, the new GM will report directly to him. Not Ted Phillips. And once the new GM is hired, he will have full control over all football ops.
