I brought this up a couple of days ago stating that we don’t know how much power Kevin Warren has and was laughed at. I thought he only had control over the management (stadium, revenue being brought in, etc) side of the bears, but maybe not. Thoughts?
This is the thing that gives me a little bit of solace. If he fires Flus and brings in a new coach, he likely buys himself at least 2 more years as GM. I think he’s smart enough to realize that. Fire Flus, bring in a new coach. Have new coach work with Fields. If it goes horribly wrong, draft a QB in 25, get at least another year, maybe two. I mean that’s the rational decision that I would make. If he sticks with Flus AND Fields next year and it’s miserable. he’s cooked. If he drafts Maye or Williams and it’s a disaster, he’s cooked.
Nope. Because any new coach worth their salt is going to say “I want to start fresh with my own QB.”
I don’t think Poles is the one making the call on head coach and I think he’s smart enough to realize that.
You’re thinking of a different sport or organizations logic/power dynamics. Poles may have a seat at the table but he’s not making that call.
Poles has not been the problem and should keep his job for another couple years for dj Moore, two first rounders next year, and montez sweat extension. Anyway https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/why-matt-eberflus-ryan-poles-finally-gave-the-real-reason/
