Chicago Bears Dismiss Senior Vice President Cliff Stein

Of course, we don't know the real reasons, but unless I hear something justifying it, I think this was a step back.

Interesting. Either he feels he can do better (but don't see how), or something else is going on

He was relieved of negotiating duties when Pace was GM.  I don't know why.  Then he was doing them again.  Now he's out again.  I don't know if we will ever know what the problems were.  Maybe he was just getting old and the job probably has changed since Jerry Angelo hired him a long time ago.  He and Ted Phillips have been around forever in the front office.  Times change.  People come and go.  Hopefully they will get someone good to replace him.

We already have a thread on this, so if you don't mind, motm, I'll merge these.
