This is what I can’t even remember any more. I thought Flus was hired before Poles, but I’ve seen other places that it was his hire. Did Poles hire Flus or was he put in place for him?

The Bears “brain trust” of George, Ted, and Bill Polian assembled a short list based on interviews and told Poles to pick from it. Eberflus was on that list. That said, out of the choices on the list, Poles picked the worst one

Flus was hired after Poles, by about 48 hours. Ted Philips ran a committee that was responsible for hiring both the GM and HC. They hired Poles and had the hiring process 95% done and told Poles to choose between three options.

Technically Poles signed off on Eberflus, but it was basically a formality.

Ok I do actually remember this now. I think this is why I didn’t actually consider it his hire because it feels like it was still forced on him.
