Chitownhustla Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Maybe these ass clowns won't fire Emery....... I would be shocked. I think Emery and Coaching staff must be fired at the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Emery and Coaching staff must be fired at the least. Here is one for ya, two different articles stated that Ted Phillips has a say in every dollar spent and every move made. Which means he Hired JA, Lovie, Emery, Trestman, Hired Tucker,signed off on Cutlers deal. All failed deals. If Emery and Trestman are fired how is Ted not?????

Lucky Luciano Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Caught this nugget out of a David Haugh article: QUOTE Team President Ted Phillips has been involved in conversations about the Bears future, which suggests he will survive any job losses. the guy that knows the least about football is involved with the bears future after catastrophic failure. hmmmm, that sounds about right. does that mean we hire ANOTHER consulting firm to look for a GM or head coach or do we keep the SAME consulting firm that found us the last ones seeing how they did such a good job the last time or two? does this mean if we are looking for a GM the "consultants" should have us a list of candidates by next june? no wonder this franchise is the laughing stock of the NFL.

Stinger226 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Stupid is as stupid does... The ownership needs to stop this old boys network of pals n bros and bring in football people. your spot on, I dont care if they keep Phillips and make him the bookkeeper but take any power away from him for football operations. We need George to turn the franchise over to and not necessarily Holgrem (dont care if I spelled it right). In Phillips watch he doubled the worth of the Bear Dynasty but just isnt a football guy.

We need George to turn the franchise over to and not necessarily Holgrem (dont care if I spelled it right). In Phillips watch he doubled the worth of the Bear Dynasty but just isnt a football guy. How much of the increase of the Bears worth is due to Phillips, the NFL has seen insane growth over the last 20 years. Every team has seen growth, the Miami Dolphins were bought for 150 million(early 90's) and then sold to Ross for 1.something billion. What did the Jaguars sell for??? The Bears growth is more due to the NFL's growth over anything Phillips did. Take a look at the new stadium Phillips was in charge of getting built. As soon as its done being built the rest of the NFL start building bigger and better stadiums. NY built a 80,000 plus stadium, then get a SB, Chicago will never get a SB. Phillips takes Solider Field from 68,000 to 62,000 but adds more luxury boxes(I guess teams do not share revenue from boxes only ticket sales) . GB keeps adding more and more seats. The Bears are in the 2nd largest market and have the smallest stadium in the NFL. How do you even defend that. It's a complete and utter fail. Home field advantage is huge in the NFL, having 80,000 screaming fans is better than 62,000. The more I look at Ted Phillips the more I look at him being the biggest piece to why the Bears have done everything wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitownhustla Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I did some digging if this article doesn't make you want to march down to Halas Hall and ask for Ted's Head I don't know what will. http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2010/0913/nfl...ets-midway.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ted Phillips sucks donkey when it comes to anything related to football. He got elevated to the job because Mayor Daley couldn't stomach Mike McCaskey. So in order to get a new stadium they had to rotate in a new face Daley would let in the room. Other than the deal getting done, what real accomplishment happened under Teddy? As someone pointed out, a crap stadium, with a seating capacity that is a league embarrassment. The McCowards are an absolute joke if anything short of a clean sweep does not happen. With all of the hiring failures on their watch they shouldn't survive; only thing saving them is that they own the team, Teddy doesn't so bye, bye Sweaty Teddy and bye bye to the bookworm nerd twins as well.

Bears4Ever_34 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Don't think he was ever going to be fired, but it doesn't mean they won't find a replacement for him in regards to football decisions. Boers and Bernstein said last week that Ted himself wouldn't mind somebody doing the football stuff. He'd rather stick to business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move him out of the football operations. Funny thing, from the article I posted earlier Ted hasn't been that good on the business side.
