I brought this up a couple of days ago stating that we don’t know how much power Kevin Warren has and was laughed at. I thought he only had control over the management (stadium, revenue being brought in, etc) side of the bears, but maybe not. Thoughts?
It’s pure speculation - Watch/listen for yourself 10:54 - 12:06
The question was: Do the Bears bring back Matt Eberflus next season. and what about Justin Fields?
Answer: “I think right now it’s trending towards Eberflus not being back. That is in part due to Kevin Warren’s influence in the organization. He did not hire Ryan Poles, he did not hire Matt Eberflus, I think he is motivated to see what he can do with his own guys in there. I have also heard that Kevin Warren wants to be a little bit more involved on the football side, which may influence the decision there.”
Yep. That’s a completely speculative comment and he leaves himself plenty of wiggle room. The fact that he can’t say “Eberflus is done” is mildly concerning. Also Kevin Warren “wanting to be a little more involved” confirms what we’ve all said. He currently isn’t involved in the football side because he was brought it to do the stadium deal as a real estate guy.
