Aveni would kick the '61 season for the Redskins and eventually become the Bears' answer to a trivia question: Who wore Ditka's number before the Hall of Fame tight end made it famous? Since Ditka played his last of 85 career games with the Bears on Dec. 18, 1966, the team assigned 13 players the number who mostly reminded people why it should be retired. Chairman George McCaskey initiated a thaw not long after replacing his brother in 2011and, gradually, Da Bears warmly welcomed Da Coach back into the fold such as when coach Marc Trestman had Ditka address the team in preseason. In the decade Ditka learned under Landry, he wrote Halas a letter expressing hope to one day coach the Bears.
