CHICAGO — To those who work at 1920 Football Drive in Lake Forest and have grand aspirations for what the Chicago Bears can become, get excited. And get ready. That’s everyone from general manager Ryan Poles to the entire business development team to the marketing folks to those who work in the cafeteria and equipment room.
Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren is coming. Listen for the footsteps.
Warren is on his way to becoming the Bears’ new team president and CEO, ready to replace Ted Phillips, who held that post for 24 seasons. And if you’re willing to take the word of folks who have spent extended time around Warren, understand this first and foremost: The man is a presence. You’ll feel it when he enters the room. And you’ll know it when he leaves.
