The previous Bears president, Ted Phillips, didn’t want the public to know how involved he was in helping to choose the franchise’s head coaches. His background as a bean counter didn’t exactly give him street cred when it came to football decisions. Neither did some of the coaches hired during his tenure, including Marc Trestman, Matt Nagy and Matt Eberflus. With that track record, you can understand his stab at stealth.
The current Bears president, Kevin Warren, would like everyone to know that he’s in charge of everything, even if that’s not exactly true.
