Flus was on his way to getting fired halfway through last season.
Blind stupidity.
I think Poles really likes Flus. And I think he kept him on for that reason. And if the upcoming season fails, he may keep him to join his football operations team, especially if Ian Cunningham leaves. I actually like to think that Ian’s decision on staying or leaving was the reason Flus was kept as a head coach. Once Ian leaves next year, then Poles places Flus in his position. Then either Waldron or someone knew takes his place. If the upcoming season bombs. If not, he stays in place.
Poles is really close to Ian. They work closely with each other. I don’t hear that with anyone else. He works with everyone, but not as close to Ian. And Flus is the only other person I can think of that he is really close to.
Just my thought on it. I could be 172% wrong on it and I’m fine with that if it is.
