    If Poles didn’t completely gut the team in their first year then yeah. However with that whole situation in mind it muddies the waters, also trading for Sweat along with getting those LB’ers, heavy defensive drafts beforehand… doesn’t scream Flus is 100% gone.

    The situation is just sketchy to me.

    You don’t draft a QB with a uncertain future at head coach. You pair the new coach with the young QB but we do everything ass backwards. So 99% chance he’s back then gets fired after year 3.

    Nothing the “leadership” of the Bears organization does would surprise me unless it turned out to be a brilliant decision

    The silver lining with these demoralizing losses is I think they will force Poles to dump this staff. As piss poor as this team has been the last decade or so, they’ve somehow managed to avoid being bottom of the barrel bad until these last two seasons. Not being able to get this team to perform even mediocre is the nail in the coffin (hopefully)

    Everyone stays for at least one more year. Patience peeps…this is year 2 of a complete overhaul and they’re not done…It takes time. They pretty much control the draft again and have a ton of cap space. Draft and or sign the balance of the major holes with studs ( WR2 hopefully MHJ, C, another DE opposite of Sweat and probably FS when they let EJ go) next offseason and BAM! Playoffs next season! Mark my words…this was the plan all along. They’re closer than most think.

    What if we beat the Packers in the week 18? That could trigger enough mass euphoria for the fans to personally carry Eberflus on their shoulders to George’s office and demand a 10 year contract extension.

    He gotta go and everyone on the staff that rode in with him. I like Poles and what he has done but got to make a disconnect with coaching staff

    I doubt they even make a decision until the end of the year. What’s the rush? Anyone we want to hire isn’t available to interview until post-season anyway.
