Part 5/8:
As conversations swirl around the Bears’ future, one key concern has emerged: the organizational dynamics and ownership structure. Behind the scenes, ownership matters greatly; the Bears’ management, led by matriarch Virginia McCaskey, who is now 100 years old, creates layers of bureaucracy that may hinder effective decision-making. Comparisons have been drawn to the Detroit Lions, who struggled under previous leadership until a new direction in ownership led to more robust decision-making and management.
