10 members of the Board of Directors. 5 are McCaskeys. 2 are McKenna and Pat Ryan. None have any football experience.
Well: The Fish stinks from the head - thats right - its all about the Ownership!
Believing the bears would know become a favorit SB contender is terribly wrong.
Its the same old vicious circle - firing the hole staff und thinking that new persons will bring success.
Yes, it could be, but its more coincidence!
I Think there s the danger that Bears will fall back into the times of Trestman, maybe for a long time!
Maybe its just reality.
IMO its not only a lack of football knowledge (of the ownership) its even more a lack of
Knowledge +++to treat a football-franchise as a middle class Company+++.
Why middle-class company?
Because there s the knowledge (know how) to analyze the key factors of success in your own industrial sector: here Football sports!
You need it to get better in your operational business!
Football sports is a very strategic thing, and we can see that teams have success after inventing something new.
For example: 46 defense - The bears where top for nearly one decade!
NE invented a new kind of OL-playing with quite new plays (trick plays) Ive never seen before.
They play faster, with better ideas and better strategies to crack decent DLs.
For sure, if you want to fool DLs you need ideas, in each game - against each opponent!
- BTW I dont see good ideas from the bears! -
Im very sure that even Packers and Chiefs found out some strategies to be supreme.
And if you found out something or invented something new, its easier to hire players and staff exactly for That strategy.
So if you need a fast playing QB you dont need to hire a first round pick (if he s to slow), its enough to hire Brady as pick 199!
Even pick 199 can be the GOAT.
What do we know else:
Its even obvious that firing the hole staff is not the right way - because bears just did the same all few years?!
Success? None!
Even obvious: Its normal if one QB fails in your team. Shit happens!
But bears just wasted 4 QBs in two seasons. If a pick 2 (Mitch), even a SB winner (Foles), a new talent (Fields) and
a decent QB (Dalton) are failing all together, we can be sure (its a powerfull signal) that the hole playing strategy of the team is terriby wrong!
Im sure bears would waste Mahomes, Rogers, Montana, McMahon...
IMO the release of Nagy is 1-2 years too late.
But HC is the weakest position - a punching ball.
Please lets dig deeper:
George Mckaskeys profession is: Being son of the owner?
Else Juris doctor (BTW - beware of lawyers, teachers and medics in entrepreneurial positions)
Ted Philipps is at least business man - with accounting experience (Ernst Young (do they work there?Or wearing expensive suits?)), else working in the bears franchise - maybe not enough?
Even without success for many years - but a friend of the family = nepotism?
IMO it is a huge structural problem inside the bears franchise top down!
