And they should definitely take into consideration everything McCaskey and Phillips list above. Instead, the team should take a prudent approach.

And early reporting suggests that process is already ongoing.īut what is Chairman George McCaskey looking for in the next Bears president? If that is to happen, that search needs to be underway already. This gives the Bears some stability this season, while also clearing the runway for a new president to take over after Phillips steps away before the new league year begins next March. After all, Phillips is staying on board as team president through February 2023.
