I find it exceptionally hard to believe this HC hire is believed to be Poles true wishes and that retaining this HC that has hindered Poles' vision of the rebuild is believed to be Poles' decision.
Poles the failed olineman didn't come in here preaching trenches to disguise his true plan of drafting all the DBs until he finds 4 super stars. Everything about Flus screams McCaskey hire.
As far as the retention goes, the Bears not firing coaches early is a history that can't be pinned on Poles.
I'm kind of in the same boat.
When you take a look at Matt eberflus at the end of last season in that end of your presser, He literally looked like he had just been put through hell. He looks like a man who had been told after being put through the ringer that he barely escaped with his job.
Now you have Caleb Williams in house. You have a dad of Caleb Williams who is actively involved in wanting his kid to be great calling out the coaches. Same dad by the way who tried to get a no franchise tag clause in his contract.
Honestly, all this talk about Poles being attached to Eberflus sounds like either has to be coming from Matt's camp, or maybe even McCaskeys, but I just don't think Poles is going to throw away his own job in order to fight for Matt.
Now you also have Kevin Warren trying to negotiate stadium deals.
There are too many reasons to fire Eberflus, and you already have Ben Johnson's camp putting out feelers through that report from Albert Breer.
We just have to keep Caleb alive until the end of the season.
