Former Bears GM.
Quote:
NFL executive Jerry Vainisi, who helped build one of the most celebrated football teams of all time, died Tuesday at 80 years old, the Chicago Bears announced.

Vainisi was general manager of the Bears from 1983-87, including the iconic 1985 season, during which the Bears went 15-1 in the regular season and then outscored its opponents in the postseason 91-10 en route to winning Super Bowl XX.

He joined the Bears in 1972, serving as controller, treasurer and in-house counsel before being named general manager. The Bears won 47 games during his four seasons as GM. In 1987, Vainisi was fired due to differences with team president Michael McCaskey.

Did Phillips take over the business side when Vainisi was made GM? Imagine the alternate timeline if McCaskey hadn't been an idiot.

I'm too young to know Jerry but have read a little bit about him now. Found this great article with quotes from Jerry about his brother Jack, who was a scout for the Packers during the 50s.

I was pretty young, but as I recall, Jerry was loyal to Ditka, which the Mclaskeys hated

He was ok, but he was not the talent hound that Finks was. Finks built that SB team, not Vanisi.
