Kevin Warren made the big10 super wealthy and the top conf surpassing the SEC.
Kevin Warren built the best stadium in the NFL at the time in Minnesota at a great location with a great deal for the franchise and city.
Kevin Warren turned the Bears and their reputation around amongst the leagues circles.
Sorry I’m not taking the side of corrupt Illinois/Chicago politicians or anything they have to say about anything. There’s a reason why huge companies are leaving the city and the state left and right.
The Bears once flew Dan Quinn out for a HC interview and put him in coach in the back of the plane.
Warren sent the private jet for Ben.
He gets a shred.
It's interesting...
I remember hearing grumblings about Kevin Warren being hard to work with when he showed the door to many Halas Hall lifers when he came in as President for the Bears.
A Bears team that was riddled in failures and dysfunction, mind you.
Now hearing the same from Illinois politicians. A state that doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to politics as well.
Also heard rumblings from some in the Big Ten that weren't fans of Kevin Warren.
Yet, Kevin Warren got the 8 billion dollar TV deal for the Big Ten as they expanded their conference to the West Coast becoming a super conference.
The Vikings stadium, for all intents and purposes is what all stadiums should strive for from process of paying for it to architecture and structure of thr stadium itself.
The Bears seem to be turning things around since he's arrived. Hard Knocks, Flus fired midseason. Ben Johnson. Playoffs. Etc.
I don't know... maybe just maybe, Kevin Warren is tough to work with because he doesn't operate the way some people want him to. And maybe... just maybe, that's a good thing.
Just a thought.
I get that there's like 6 fanbases that legitimately feel like they can win it all this year (and the Packers most delusional fans)
But this really feels like it's the year for #dabears to click on all cylinders in year 2 of Ben Johnson's offense
