Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren is reportedly a finalist to become the Bears’ next president and CEO, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Warren is one of several candidates with whom the franchise has spoken. Warren interviewed with the team in person and is considered a “strong candidate” in running for the position, according to Thamel.
The Bears plan to conclude their search and name a new president in a matter of weeks.
“We have not set a timeline for announcing Ted Phillip’s [sic] successor,” the team said in a statement.
