WCG: Warren kicked Stein out

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

Interesting part of the article:

"Multiple sources said that Stein’s reputation as a firm but fair negotiator had tilted too far in one direction. Many agents felt that Stein had started driving too much of a hard bargain during negotiations which led to some relationships being damaged with player representation."

I brought that up in jest when he was fired that we lost out last year in fa cause of him. That’s wild if he actually hurt the team like that.

Time fer me to move on to source B..

Yeah, I'm not sure how the actual structure of it all works, but how is it that a contract negotiator ends up being the reason a player doesn't get signed lol? You'd think the GM would just tell him to sign his ass for whatever it takes...

Gabriel got SUPER pissed when the news hit and was threatening to quit twitter over it and said he had some dirt to spill which never happened

Honestly buying the land for an Arlington Stadium without first having a tax/revenue plan in place was a big miscalculation that's probably a fire-able offense.

Greg was on a podcast saying he thought Warren was threatened by Stein because Stein was a finalist for Warren's position with the Bears last year.

Consider the source, but something I haven't seen here yet.

Not uncommon in cooperate America. The stories I heard working at Coca-Cola just showed me how cut throat the corporate world is

Imo, the last thing mentioned in the article about the stadium was the most likely reason. Other things contributed, but I would not be surprised to hear the stadium issues were the main reason.

Last, but certainly not least, is the issue of the new stadium. As we all know, a large piece of Kevin Warren’s role as Team President was to lead the way in building a state-of-the-art stadium for the Chicago Bears. That task started prior to Warren’s arrival and was largely handled by both Phillips and Stein.

One source mentioned that Warren wasn’t thrilled with some of the work that was done prior to his arrival, particularly with the town of Arlington Heights. Those issues have led to a stalemate between the Bears and the town and may ultimately impact what location the Bears eventually finalize as the home to their new stadium.

Yeah let’s go back to the easy negotiations of the pace era where trevathans contract just came off the books. Firm but fair sounds exactly like the pre-reqs of the job.

He was the leak in the facility to old man greg gabriel.

That's really it. Beginning and end. I'm going to bet he was a week for a lot of other media members as well.

In which case he should be terminated no matter how good he was with the numbers.

It's like the Bears voluntarily placed their corporate loins in a vice.

They kept the Trubisky pick really fucking secret.

 

[CTA_employee9]

If that’s the case, I wish Kevin Warren was as offended by historic fourth quarter losses as he is with telling Greg Gabriel secrets about some guy named Greg Olson (who’s not even the cool Greg Olsen) interviewing to be the OC. Yes, I’m still pissed Harbaugh wasn’t even freaking interviewed here.

Different regime. And Pace had to hide that from blowhard Fox, who would get drunk and tell everyone everything. Kind of wish he would have because it might have killed the pick.

That makes me happy - the front office has needed someone willing to be cut throat for a long damn time.

RE: Gabriel

Dude has a blindspot, for anything related to Jerry Angelo. If you were hired by Jerry you'd get nothing but praise from Gabriel. I suspect that is why he's been high on Pep Hamilton.
