Chicago Bears

Assume we fire Flus and Poles stays and is allowed to pick another coach.

What is the plan if the team is terrible again? Do you fire Poles and the coach (after just 1 season)? Do you give both an extra season (which would be 3 horrendous seasons in a row for Poles)? Do you fire Poles but make sure the new GM retains the HC we just hired?

What is the plan?

Sweat is gone after he sees this dumpster fire organization. Basically borrowed him for a few games. Why would he want to go from one terrible struggling organization to another? What a clueless move by poles

Both were available for similar value, which one would you rather see the bears get?

I don’t think I have even been more terrified of an image in my entire life than the one above.

He is an attorney who was brought on to handle the stadium deal, not deal with football operations. He handled the Vikings stadium a few years ago. He is not a football guy, and even if he does get involved there is no track record of him being able to build a competent football operation.

I see a lot of people saying “sell the team”, and I’m all for the need to make drastic changes. However, every team has a salary cap, so beyond hiring people to actually run/coach the team, what other influence does the ownership bring? Can it make that big of a difference who owns it?
