The failures and disappointment of Chicago Bear have gotten the best out of everyone this season. After a fourth consecutive defeat, a former player says there should be fundamental changes.
Corey Wootton, who is now an analyst for CHGO Network, is calling for a top-to-bottom change within the organization following last week’s loss to the Green Bay Packers.
On the CHGO Bears Podcast, Wootton made comparisons to the Packers and New England Patriots, as franchises that do an exceptional job at all levels of their organization. Changes that Wootton would like to see go all the way to the top, as he suggests that George McCaskey cede all power to team president Kevin Warren and general manager Ryan Poles.
“Green Bay, as much as it hurts me, they handle it better,” Wootton said. “From the top to the bottom, they are managing better. From the owner, to the general manager, to the president, to the coaching staff, to the way they select and develop talent, they are doing it better at every level The Patriots have been doing this for years. If the Bears want to change the tone of their team, they have to do it from the top down. So the owners, the McCaskeys, have to give the reins to Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles. fat. “
Much has been made of the McCaskeys’ involvement in day-to-day operations with the Bears in recent history, most notably with their refusal to fire a head coach midway through the season. It’s not something they’ve ever done before as owners, there’s been a lot of talk about doing 2024 for the first time and the decision to fire Matt Eberflus. That hasn’t happened yet, and it doesn’t seem like it’s a likely outcome for the rest of this season.
However, if changes are made and the Chicago Bears franchise wants to undergo a complete transformation, Wootton believes Warren and the Poles should have full control of football operations.
