Pretty sure he's gone because the ownership group is going to demand some major changes after 2 straight years of last place football. They usually hold onto the GM over the coach, especially if the GM didn't hire the coach or choose the QB.
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?
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.
