Absolute correct decision by coaching for once ..but whew what a miss by Poles on that trade Besides the Flus hire if there's one other argument for why Poles should be fired at end of season that's it right there Just an embarrassing situation 🤦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hiring Flus thing is a push for me...I don't believe it was all on Poles and think there was a lot of politics around it... The Claypool trade being so poor is not enough alone for me to say we should fire Poles (I don't believe he will be) that said if Poles being in place stops us from getting a Ben Johnson/John Harbaugh/Dan Quinn then I would be open to making the move...as much as I think Poles has made some really good moves he just hasn't found us enough difference makers so far.

Iirc George and Ted already did first round of interviews with HCs, then hired Poles, and handed him a list of their favorites. So yeah Poles hired Flus, but it doesn’t sound he had the full authority to go out and choose whoever he wanted. They would never say that publicly though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Poles and Flus share the same agent Trace Armstrong who was said to be part of the Bears hiring process along with Bill Polian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not hire another defensive head coach like Dan Quinn this time around, especially if we luck out and get Caleb. We need a real smart offensive mind who knows what they're doing when it comes to the QB position. There are enough competent defensive coordinator candidates out there or guys who may become available like Staley, Saleh or Bowles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I know "what do you want him to say?" but he could leave that out. That's not normally a line GM's use to describe HC's. I guess what I'm getting at is Poles may have been saddled with a top 3 but let's not confuse that with the fact that Poles obviously likes Eberflus a ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it should be Warren & Poles and that is all...after that they should take who they want for George to sign off and unless he somehow knows that the dude is a serial killer then he should have no objectives.

I would much much rather have an offensive guy at the helm but at the end of the day being an HC is not all about one side of the ball...Quinn would need to blow everyone else out of the water but I would still at least speak to him...that said he is probably the only DC I would speak to to be honest.

And even then, Poles should have the final say, as much as I'm not thrilled with him so far. Let the football people do the football stuff.
