OT: Bears & NFL Talk 102

[HeisenBaez]

I know this is going to piss people off but Poles not going to get fired, but I bet he gets a short term extension (2 years) because of Caleb Williams. The reason? As mentioned in this thread, no coach is going to sign up to work with a lame duck GM, so I think the Bears will grant him that extension to take him off lame duck status.

With that said, I really don't want a new GM so quckly after hiring Poles. 3 years is too quick, imo. New GM may not want Caleb Williams and that person may want to burn it down and began anew. I don't want that. I rather see Poles cook for 2 more years than to see a new GM burn it down.

I know this is not a popular opinion but I think Poles getting a small entension is more likely than him getting fired. Quite frankly, I don't think Poles has done enough to warrant getting fired, despite the knee jerk reactions.

In a vacuum Poles has done “enough” to not get fired. But keeping Flus alone is enough to be fired. Writing was on the wall last year. That doesn’t even get into the history of this organization.

I really don’t want to struggle to attract a great HC because the GM might be on the hot seat.

Also look I like what I’ve seen from Thomas Brown, both on the field and personality wise. But I’m not so sure about keeping him. He would have to be the HC.

wouldn't be the worst thing to can Flus and let Brown ride out the year as HC to see how it goes.
