George H. McCaskey end-of-season press conference | Chicago Bears

I had become indifferent to the Bears a few years after Ditka was gone and then Smith came and that changed for me quick and when He was gone (and I consider him the best Bears coach since Ditka) I felt the indifference again.

Exactly! The Bears will suck as long as Virginia McCaskey is alive. She won’t allow them to sell her daddy’s team as long as she is living.

Agreed. And if our beloved Bears leave iconic Soldier Field for Arlington Heights I’ll officially check out as a lifelong Bears fan.

i said these same words at the end of last season, and i didn’t watch the bears all season and it was one of the best seasons to watch…. minus the defensive pass interference calls but that’s off subject.

That’s not clear at all.

He DEFINITELY doesn’t get it.
Debatable whether he cares, I think he cares most about the money rolling in.

He doesnt care to get it.

that’s pretty positive outlook. lol. I see 1-16

@Stevilkenevil99 I’m being sarcastic

Then Sir Ted why on earth were Ryan and Matt ever fired if you were happy with the hires.

Most teams hire a GM and let him pick his own coach. Not interview a GM and a coach at the same time. I’m done being a Bears fan.

Lol I see 0-17 lol

@Jack Johnson , the question was totally justifiable and on point. Thought George had a terrible response like “The organization is telling me to continue”? The McCaskey family should be feeling heat for ineptitude. Long story short 37 years, 1 Superbowl. 37 years, 10 wins in the playoffs out of 23 playoff games. How’s this acceptable?

@Jack Johnson Found the George burner account guys

@Jack Johnson Are you joking? He should be on the hot seat. Do you really think that George the billionaire gives two poo’s? His lack of football acumen is entirely the issue.

Mark asks the questions that fans want answers to. He isn’t the kind of reporter that asks softball mealy-mouth questions.

I’m sorry bears fan the only thing we have to look forward to is Justin, Roquan, Monty, Mooney, Jaylon. I do like some of the young talent like graham deon bush as strong safety Herbert we got plenty of talent on this team that been getting wasted.

When this ownership sells we will be a really good team but until than talent will be wasted over n over n over it’s a damn shame because we deserve a consistent football team that wins year in and year out I’m not talking Super Bowl yes that is the ultimate goal but at this point I’ll take fucking playoffs appearances. Not even wins in the playoffs I’m sick of being a fan of a great city big market 3rd biggest market behind LA and New York be this shitty the bears should be just like the packers actually we should be better we play in the biggest city in the division the biggest market in the division we play in a beautiful city we should attract players that are great but we don’t becuz how the team is being run it’s simple why players don’t enjoy their time here unless they got paid.

@B.A. Samuels shes living till shes 220 if it means keeping the bears sucking.

@J T Raiders: Just Win Baby!
Bears: Over Her Dead Body!
Why is she at the games? Because she runs the organization with an Iron Fist. She wants it passed down like a kingdom to baby McCaskeys still in their leathery eggs. That’s why they are so cheap, low end spending, MORE for them. That’s Ted’s job, keep the cash coming in, make no fast moves…its like driving by looking at the reaction of the other drivers, vs looking at the road.

@Teabagonyou Why don’t we all set back and see what ownership does, instead of everyone bitching. Give them all a chance, there trying harder now, then they ever have. Patience Please, see what happens.

@Jay the chants was right thooo and it was a fact naggy had to goo George just can’t be a man when it comes down too it he’s the guy who hates to fire someone hints too why his butt buddy Ted is still there

@Hooter 304 the chants are misdirected anger. We should be chanting: “Sell The Team George.”

@Jay this right here! I’m tired of the “fire the current coach” idea. It’s been 75 years with like 19 playoff seasons. It’s obviously not the coaches

That is what happens when Mama gives a job to her son who didn’t earn it and senile Mama writes his performance review yearly.

Might as well sing it.

I stopped watching them last year. Been a fan since Sweetness. The very definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different outcome. Well , George and Ted are still there. Smh

@Sid Fernandez retread fox is top 5 dumbest thing I’ve ever read. How do retread a human being and hof coach?

@Trey erickson Fox? a hall of fame coach??? bahahahahahahahaha

After listening and watching the George McCaskey/Ted Phillips press conference… I can without reservation say that the entire problem with the Chicago Bears is that their ran by third generation owners. There was a level of arrogance and aloofness when it came to questions regarding the hiring process. One would think that an individual would be self-aware…as to on one hand, call themselves a non-football guy and a fan. Then, in regard to the question of why they haven’t got the coaching/GM situation correct in the 34 years that Phillips has been there, and the 17 years that George McCaskey has been in charge of the Bears that they haven’t even gotten close to being a Championship team…. their answer was “ we feel that we’re highly qualified and experienced to make those judgments, along with our hand-picked football expert Bill Polian”. George McCaskey even referenced the book that Bill Polian had just written last year about being president of the Colts. One only has to reference that it was 10 years ago that Bill Polian was thrown out on his ear after allowing Peyton Manning to go to the Denver Broncos.
Mr. McCaskey also referenced that ownership has 100% confidence in him and didn’t see a need to remove him as the chairman of the board of the Chicago Bears. As you well know, the owner of the Chicago Bears is his mom.

Need I say more? God help us!!!!

It is getting much harder to like this team

Maybe next year isn’t just for the Cubs

Never will get it right

@Steve Rogers most fans in Chicago cheer for both teams so they actually DO say, ” WAIT ‘TIL NEXT YEAR!” 🤣🤣

I am a clown, and I don’t know football either.

Yet he said he will evaluate the football ability of the next GM. Yeah…….we’re gonna be right back here in a few years with George saying that he likes where these failing Bears are.

@Inorite Well, the future isn’t all that bad. The Bears ownership is at stake once Virginia passes. Her shares will disperse to her children and their children, removing the McCaskeys as majority owner unless they somehow all come together. I can see AON’s Ryan buying their shares and taking over the team.

Based upon his ignorance in this interview, he’s not a fan- not even in the casual sense!

The problems with the Chicago Bears is that ownership but her spoiled grandson in charge of a professional football team who has ZERO football experience at any level. An entitled little man who never so much as played high school football is running (ruining) this professional team.
If that was NOT enough, ownership of the Chicago Bears has elevated an accountant WITH NO FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE to the position of President and CEO who is in charge of ripping off the Illinois tax payer….Oh, little Teddy Phillips helped get 420 million from the Illinois tax payer for the remodeling of Soldier Field. McCaskey has already said Phillips will be busy scamming to get a new statium in Arlington Heights…..Oh, pony up 100 millions more tax payers.
Yet the clownish Bear fans are just Cub fans who keep putting up with it and say, “Gee guys, wait till next year”.

He needed some water after that 🔥🔥

Don’t forget what happened to Mugs Halas

@Rich Kid remind the kids, Rich…

Mom and his siblings say he can keep his job.

Crew, “Captain, there’s a big hole in the hull of the ship and we’re sinking.”

Captain George, “Don’t call it a hole, you’ll make the boat feel bad.”

Crew, “The waters rushing in.”

Captain George, “Isn’t the water refreshing?”

Ted was saying, they are humble and generally good people, and it ultimately didn’t work out. They weren’t douchebags, they just weren’t good at their jobs.

😆

When I ask for clown show, this franchise comes to mind

@Dominic Canis This should have 1k likes 👍 🤣

Spot on

Housewives of Halas Hall

Shameful and inexcusable.

This will be in a UrinatingTree video for sure

Told him to put it in his hall of fame speech!!!

This is just sad,

Or just quit being a Bears fan and transition to a different and better fanbase or team. That’s what I did

@Druski2Funny thanks for sharing your “transition” with all of us. Hope you enjoy your new trans lifestyle. Fair weather fans are pathetic. Dont come crawling back pretending you’re a bears fan one day when they’re good.

@Druski2Funny that is not a option. I’ve seen worse times than this as a bears fan

Do what you want, but what is the fun in hand picking your favorite team because your old one struggled.

Very well stated

Exactly! The Bears will suck as long as Virginia McCaskey is alive. She won’t allow them to sell her daddy’s team as long as she is living.

Dead on.
