Madmike90 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 If you weren’t sold on Poles as being a guy who will do whatever needs to be done to be the best then sacking one of the guys who hired him less than 6 months ago says a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I wonder what the rationale was. You don't just fire someone from an NFL franchise in June or July without a reason. Maybe he has another person in mind that he has a ton of faith in?

McCaskey and co were bragging on that dude as being indispensable and valuable in offseason when they put him on that committee. They didn’t say why other than he was friends with players. I guess Poles didn’t feel same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra cold that he was part of committee that hired Poles and Poles fires him a few months later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 “Reid established a players' leadership committee consisting of one member from each position group as a way for players to air their concerns.” From ESPN article on Reid Poles is probably just following this model. Maybe he thinks there is no need for a full time go between position if you are doing this. Timing is weird though. Still cold. I think Soup did more though. I suspect his real job was he was a guy who kept an eye on player personal life’s to head off off field problems. Which KC has had a problem with and Bears have not as much pre Poles. He may have wanted to keep a guy like that and is not seeing his true value (if true). If Soup can keep a key player from doing something stupid or making a dumb decision and getting suspended that is worth his salary. These young guys need trustworthy older guy advise on buying homes, cars, dating, partying, investing, etc. The franchise needs someone who knows when a guy is on a bad track so they can either head it off or start an exit plan.
