Bears Need Culture Change At The Very Top Now...............

Meddle at the level of Jerry Jones no but meddle at the level of insisting on continuing to be involved in ops yes.  Although it may be more Teddy than GMcC it's far more active than is typically disclosed and they keep it that way.  Pace may be running day to day things but don't think that Phillips is not involved and reports back to the family.  He is still the principal influencer around that place and nothing evades him.

If GMcC truly wants what you say then all he has to do is hire him but he never has and there are no current indications that he will.  In fact there have been more than just indications of exactly the opposite.  GMcC has actually said he and Ted are the ones best equipped to run the Bears.  Unless he meant run them into the ground I don't know how that's even possible.  Neither are football guys.  One's a lawyer and the other an accountant.  They know football like I know quantum physics.
