    I think he should be gone. I also am realistic that they could scapegoat someone to buy time if Poles is tethering himself to Flus. That being said I don’t think it’s Fields like many others have said. I think it will be Getsy. They could point to the defense finally beginning to trend up and the offensive playcalling as the weak point.

    If that happens I don’t think they’ll go QB in the draft. I know people will say “but Fields isn’t Poles guy”. That argument doesn’t hold up. Poles could have pulled the plug on Fields last year when we had the #1 overall. He didn’t. He opted to trade the pick away and build around Fields. I think he’ll get pressure to continue to build the team up around Fields for one more year if he decides he wants to retain Flus. The organization would need to have the flexibility to give the next GM/HC the ability to pick a new QB if the plan fails next year instead of saddling them with CW or Maye. That would be repeating history.
