“As long as Ted Phillips is there I don’t want anything to do with Chicago”

[RubberBanMan]

I don’t pay enough attention to know what the general public opinion is of Florio but still sad to hear this. All bears fans know ted needs to gtfo….but yet there he is.

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

You’re getting paid 5-10 mil a year for 5 years guaranteed they will put up with philips lol

 

[Aquineas]

He's not wrong.

No, I won’t. (NFL GM candidate here)

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

That’s fine. I don’t want you either Mike.

Ted is going to be working on a deal for a shiny new stadium for the new GM and HC to put a quality team in. He’ll do his job…they need to do theirs…

 

[dabears70]

I don't think it will be an issue.

Chicago market is a dream job

Young QB too?

Gets to see the ground work of the new AH stadium??

WOW!!!!

 

[Anytime23]

I don't think it will be an issue.

 

[Spitta Andretti]

Florio = Idiot

 

[sevvy]

Florio is a Vikings fan. He's going to say Chicago is a shit destination for a GM and HC to as many people as he can.

The Phillips stuff is overblown. He doesnt really get involved in player personnel. If I am a GM I prefer Phillips over someome that actually knows football as not looking for someome to micro-manage me and if I do well then I can replace him as Head of football operations when he retires.

I know that's what they say, but on the other hand, why is he taking part of the interview process?

Another opinion from someone George trusts.

Yeah I've seen this claim multiple times, but I've not seen anything to support it. The dude was team President.

This is what worries me. What confidence-inspiring decisions has he made that would imply his opinion is trustworthy?

Whoever comes in will be the #1 football guy in the building, like Phil Emery was. Hopefully the new guy does better than Phil Emery.

I wish he’d go into detail about what Ted Phillips actually does to make this a bad destination. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone expound on that

I’ve heard he’s nixed trades… like for ladanian tomlinson in the draft because of money. Several other examples. All hearsay from my end but nothing i really doubt.
