REST IN PEACE: The Chicago Bears went 47-17 during Vainisi’s tenure and fielded arguably the greatest team the league had seen in 1985.
Jerry Vainisi, seen in a 2018 file image at Forest Park Bank, owned the bank since 1999 and served as its chairman and CEO. Vainisi, a former executive and general manager for the Chicago Bears, died Tuesday at 80. With Hall of Famers Dan Hampton, Mike Singletary and Richard Dent leading one of the most ferocious defenses in NFL history and Walter Payton taking handoffs, the Bears shuffled their way to a 15-1 record and the franchise’s only Super Bowl victory to date.
The Bears fired Vainisi after going 14-2 in 1986 and losing to Washington in the first round of the playoffs. Vainisi and then-president and chief executive officer Michael McCaskey were apparently at odds, though McCaskey said at the time the decision was mutual. Chicago did not hire another general manager until Jerry Angelo in 2001. Tobin, Rod Graves, Dave Wannstedt and Mark Hatley served as de facto GMs in the interim.
Vainisi went on to work for the Detroit Lions and helped create the World League of American Football, which became NFL Europe. He later took over Hinshaw & Culbertson’s sports and entertainment law division in Chicago and bought Forest Park Bank before becoming its chairman and CEO. Vainisi is survived by friend Doris L. Vainisi, five children and 14 grandchildren. His brother Jack, a scout and personnel director for the Green Bay Packers, died from a heart attack in 1960 at 33.that I have read and agree
