Culture, collaboration, process.
With those three anemic buzzwords, the Chicago Bears tried—and failed—to market a six-game losing streak as a legitimate reason general manager Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy are keeping their jobs for another season.
During an 87-minute press conference Wednesday, chairman George McCaskey, president and CEO Ted Phillips, Pace and Nagy used culture seven times, collaboration nine times and process 18 times. After another national TV game featuring a downright offensive lack of offense, McCaskey decided not to fire anybody. This franchise is among the most directionless in the league, but it will stay the course, whatever that course is.
