He is the first president and CEO hired from outside the Bears organization and the first Black president in team history. 華倫將會替代即將卸任的總管及執行長泰德。菲利普斯 在九月時菲利普斯即宣布他會在2022賽季後退休 華倫將是熊隊第一任非裔執行長 也是第一任從熊隊管理階層以外挖角的執行長 "Kevin is a man of integrity, respect and excellence, all of which are critical core values of the Chicago Bears, and weelcome his perspective and diverse thought to lead this storied organization," Bears chairman George H. McCaskey said in a statement. "He is a proven leader who has many times stepped outside of his comfort zone to challenge status quo for unconventional growth and prosperity in this role, Warren will serve in the primary leadership position of the franchise to help bring the next Super Bowl championship trophy home to Bears fans." 凱文（指華倫）是一為正直、為人尊重、追求卓悅的人。他的特質和芝加哥熊隊的 核心價值相符。我們歡迎他以多元的想法來帶領這個組織 熊隊董事會主席喬治麥克凱斯凱伊在聲明中宣稱。 華倫是位已經被證明過的領導者 曾經無數次踏出自己的舒適圈去挑戰現況而帶給組織成長和繁榮 他作為領導者的角色可以幫助熊隊將超級杯獎杯帶回給球迷 Warren will oversee general manager Ryan Poles and the business operations of the club, according to a news release from the team. Poles currently reports to McCaskey, an organizational change that took place when he was hired as GM in January 2022. Previous general managers had reported to Phillips. 華倫將會擔任球隊總管（領隊）萊恩。普斯的上司並負責熊隊的商務運作 普斯本來是直接向董事會回報 這樣組織性的改變是在他被聘任為球隊總管時發生的 之前的領隊都是直接聽命於前任執行長菲利普斯 The Big Ten's council of presidents and chancellors said in a statement that it will work with Warren "during this transition phase" and begin a search for a new commissioner. 大十聯盟的校長們在聲明中說他們將會在過渡期和華倫合作 並立刻展開下任大十會長的遴選任務 Bears personnel have been told internally that Warren's first day will be April 17, a source told ESPN's Pete Thamel. Warren is expected to be introduced during a news conference at Halas Hall on Tuesday. 華倫正式報到日期為四月十七 ESPN 報導 而華倫將在下週二舉行加盟記者會 "I am honored and recognize the responsibility bestowed upon me to lead the Chicago Bears during this exciting and pivotal time for the franchise," Warren said in a statement. "I look forward to building on the rich tradition that started with George Halas and connecting with the unique and vibrant fanbase in Chicago. I join the Chicago Bears with gratitude and drive to carry out and build upon the legacy and spirit of this founding franchise and my predecessors. This is a franchise that is respected in all of professional sports, and I am humbled to be selected as the next President & CEO of the Chicago Bears. I sincerely thank Virginia McCaskey, George McCaskey, the McCaskey family, Ted Phillips and the search team, for the responsibility and trust placed in me to lead the Chicago Bears and deliver championships to Chicago." 懷倫在聲明中指出 我很榮幸並且意識到將擔負起領導熊隊的責任 在這個重要的時期 我期待可以為熊隊帶來更多歷史並與這個獨特且熱情的球迷群體連結 我以感激和積極的心 為這個傳奇球隊帶來改變 這是一個被各項職業運動都尊重的球隊 我很幸運地被選為下任總裁暨執行長 我非常感謝麥可卡斯凱一家族、前任領隊和遴選委員會的信任 Warren had been with the Big Ten since June 2019 but recently was not given a contract extension by the conference, sources told Thamel. Last summer, Warren helped expand the conference with the additions of USC and UCLA as member institutions beginning in August 2024. He also secured the Big Ten's seven-year media rights agreement worth more than $7 billion with CBS, Fox and NBC. 華倫從一九年開始擔任大十聯盟會長 但最近並沒有獲得續約 華倫主導了大十聯盟的擴編 讓南加大大學和加州大學洛杉磯分校加入 他同時也保障了大十聯盟與哥倫比亞廣播公司、福斯電視網、國家廣播公司 七年總值七十億美元的轉播合約 "The Council of Presidents and Chancellors (COP/C) for the Big Ten Conference is grateful to Commissioner Kevin Warren for his valuable service to the conference and its member institutions over the past three years," the council said in a statement. "He has guided the conference with an innovative spirit, a passion for people and exceptional business acumen. 大十校長所組成的小組感謝華倫的三年來的服務 他有著創新的熱誠和準確的商業直覺 "Commissioner Warren was pivotal in the expansion from 14-to-16 academic and athletic member institutions and leading the media rights negotiations for the conference. He has been dedicated to building inclusion and equity in the conference while championing mental health and wellness. We thank him for his service and wish him the very best in his new endeavor as the president and chief executive officer of the Chicago Bears." 華倫會長在大十聯盟擴編成十六支球隊和在與媒體的談判中扮演重要角色 也致力於將平等多元的理念帶著組織中 我們感謝他的付出 也希望他未來在熊隊一切順利 Warren's extensive experience in the NFL spans 21 years and includes stints with the Rams, Lions and Vikings, with whom he worked from 2005 to 2019. He spent 2005-14 as the Vikings' executive vice president of legal affairs and chief administrative officer before being promoted to Minnesota's chief operating officer in 2015. 華倫過去在零五年至一九年在公羊、獅子、維京人隊都有待過 在維京人任期九年 期間從法務部門負責人晉升至維京人營運長 Sources told ESPN that Warren's impact in helping the Vikings build U.S. Bank Stadium in 2016 appealed to the Bears, who are also looking to construct a new stadium after 50 seasons at Soldier Field. The Bears aim to close on their 326-acre purchase in Arlington Heights during the first quarter of 2023 and unveiled initial plans for development, which is set to include a domed stadium, last fall. 他在維京人對時成功打造明尼蘇達新球場 這是他吸引芝加哥熊隊的最大原因 因為熊隊也有計畫建造新球場 The Bears have been under contract on the property since September 2021, when they signed a $197.2 million purchase and sale agreement. 自二一年九月， 熊隊已經投入一億九千萬美元取得新球場的建造場地的使用同意權 "Kevin is going to be a tremendous resource, and I am excited to get started with him," Bears general manager Ryan Poles said. "In my time spent with him during the interview process, it quickly became apparent his résumé and business acumen will be a powerful asset to helping improve our organization and ultimately reach our goal to be a championship organization." 熊隊現任總管萊恩。普爾斯説 我很期待和華倫合作，因為他將是很好的資源 在與他的面談過程中 我可以看出他會是我們組織的資產 和進步的來源 最重我們會達到變成冠軍球隊的目標 Phillips spent 40 seasons with the Bears, including the past 23 in his role as president/CEO. He was only the fourth person to serve as president in the organization's 102-year existence and was the first outside of the Halas-McCaskey family to hold that post. 前任執行長菲利普斯在熊隊工作四十年 期間包括二十三年作為執行長 "It was important to ensure the Bears had the right leader in place before I retired," Phillips said. "Kevin will do an excellent job of bringing the best out of the great people at Halas Hall and continue the evolution of our proud franchise." 在我退休之前找到一位合適的領導者帶領熊隊是重要的 凱文（指華倫）將會勝任這份工作並發揮組織中厲害的人的能力 讓我們驕傲的熊隊持續進步 ESPN's Adam Rittenberg contributed to this report.
