Personnel director and VP had an influence in building of the 1985 Super Bowl team before going on to serve as Colts GM.
Tobin was never the Bears general manager, although he had the responsibilities associated with the job during their Super Bowl season in 1985 as director of player personnel, a title he was given in 1984.
After the 1986 season, team president Michael McCaskey fired general manager Jerry Vainisi and Tobin was named vice-president of player personnel. He held that title until going to the Colts. The Bears did not have another GM after Vainisi's firing until they hired Jerry Angelo in 2001. A native of Burlington Junction, Mo. and a star running back for Missouri from 1959-62, Tobin was rookie of the year in the AFL in 1963 with the Houston Oilers.
