***OFFICAIL*** BREAKING: RYAN POLES NAMED BEARS GM (ANOTHER #CALLEDIT BY OP)

[Aquineas]

As a former offensive tackle, honestly it probably means he'll make good offensive line evaluations. It's one of the reasons I think Pace was so good at finding defensive linemen finds.

He apparently was instrumental in helping the Chiefs fix their line in one offseason.

Yikes.

...not looking good.

You are correct. Arians "retired" while still under contract. When he un-retired, Arizona still had rights to him, so TB had to give them some draft picks to obtain his rights.

How does that make sense? His position is no longer available...

 

[Black Rainbow]

This right here confirms that despite the similarity in name, Ryan Poles is not Ryan pace and has way more of a spine. Sounds like he is in charge and is owning the damn thing.

We got a real one. ?

They could have hired Bozo the fucking clown and you would have said it was a great hire.

Chiefs general manager Brett Veach told The Athletic in August that Poles, who was named to the outlet’s NFL 40 under 40 list, has had “quite an impact in building our roster.”

“In our line of work, it’s really important that we turn over every stone, and Ryan is outstanding when it comes to research and details,” Veach said. “He loves the game; you can tell by his attitude and the way he grinds. Beyond that, he’s a tremendous talent evaluator and plays a key role in our personnel department.”

I don't know much about this guy... but if he was heavily involved in who KC has drafted in the last several years, etc., it may be a solid choice because they've consistently had good talent.

Also, if he does end up being great, his age is a bonus. We could possibly have a solid GM in place for well over a decade.

So he's retiring from the Saints as a juke to come to the Bears? The Saints' lawyers looking at his contract might have something to say about that. Because you know, this scenario is part of the reason that contracts exist.

This was my #1 pick from the jump. Local guy who I understand is also a pretty close friend of George McCaskey's.

Long shot for sure but it is definitely worth checking out.

Executive director of player personnel with no experience building a scouting department. Sounds like Ryan Pace all over again. Really wanted Omar Khan but hopefully this works out.

So picky.

Poles comes from a scouting background with an emphasis on the college game, and joined Kansas City’s front office as a scouting assistant in 2009. He was the team’s director of college scouting from May 2016 - June 2018, so he was leading the Chief’s college scouting efforts when the team traded up to draft Patrick Mahomes in 2017.

You don't give someone a nickname, they earn it.

Let's see how he handles March & April first.

"Big Balls" Poles

He just said a few minutes ago that Poles demanded he have complete control of the coaching hire, that he will interview all three of Caldwell, Eberflus, and Quinn tomorrow by himself and then decide if he needs to expand the list of finalists

 

[Aesopian]

Welcome. Bring one of those to Chicago.

 

[4THQUARTERCLUTCHLER]

Ryan pace replaced by Ryan poles. Part of me thinks they are doing this because they have some shit laying around that says "Ryan P" on it, and they can save a couple dollars this way.

 

[Calabis]

He still has to make good selections with the picks available

Yes of course...but im not going to shit on him totally, with not many good picks. We will be lucky to get one starter
