My favorite teams
Yes, but the previous employment of Emery, Trestman, and Mel Tucker along with the presumed meddling with the new GM by forcing the hiring of Fox, who seemed to be here just to cash checks put George near if not at the bottom, so his arrow is definitely pointing up, esp considering the bold moves by Pace he has greenlighted. He may very well be, at the moment, a near top 10 exec,primarily be being more hands off, but I can't see, arbitrarily, having him leapfrog guys with similar success, without his team taking a sustained next step.I actually give McCaskey credit. He had an experienced coach in Fox, an inexperienced GM in Pace, and when things weren't working he sided with the inexperienced GM. Personally, I would have fired Pace after Year 3. McCaskey stuck with Pace, and it paid off.
The Bears actually have an organizational structure that makes sense and there is harmony...you have a GM who hires his own HC. No more Ted Phillips. No more hiring a DC with no HC experience and giving him the dual role of HC/GM. I think it reflects well on McCaskey and can be seen in the W/L record.
