Bears kept Flus last year when almost everyone knew he wasn't it. Accordingly, they didn't get a top OC. Now, they've got a GM who top coaches don't want to work for because they know he's likely fired in a year if they underperform expectations (given NFC North's strengths, easy to see that path as a possibility). So now, they're going to miss out on the top options again. Poles will get canned next year, new GM will be forced to keep schmuck HC for a season and we'll be entering year 5 asking if Caleb's 4th HC can unlock his potential or if they need to draft a new QB to ruin. The new GM will say they won't make the same mistakes and immediately proceed to speedrun those same mistakes. The cycle of suck will remain unbroken.
Or, they could just fire the shitty GM and let Johnson bring in the guy he wants and possibly break the cycle. But nope, future NFL wannabe commish Kevin Warren is committed to the cycle of suck.
