Thank God for us Clark decided to change the power structure of the team and hired the head coach himself. I don't even want to think about who Pioli would have hired if Clark let the front office power structure stay the same.
The McClaskeys need to make a similar move. Hire the head coach themselves, and if that coach likes Poles, he stays. If that coach wants his own guy, then he goes.
Problem is the McClaskeys are fucking idiots. Clark has proven to be a savvy owner, but the failson making the decisions for the Bears will absolutely fuck this up. [Reply]

Rumors I'm hearing on Bears head coach opening via team sources: - Lions OC Ben Johnson wants the job, but Ryan Poles has reservations. There is a lot of belief that Johnson would push Poles out. - Johnson is said to want Commanders assistent GM Lance Newmark as the GM. Newmark…
Why would Flores be a disaster? He turned the Dolphins around and had back to back winning seasons before he left. Infact his first two seasons were better than Dan Campbell's first two. But Dan was allowed to have several high draft picks (Hutchinson, Williams, Gibbs, Sewell, Branch etc), a great O-line, an experienced QB, several decent pieces already there like St Brown, Mckneill etc and was lucky enough to have two good coach's fall into his lap in Johnson and Glenn.
Flores had none of the above. He had a young Tua when he personally wanted Herbert. Then his team's owner tried to get Peyton and Brady behind his back so what chance did he have? The guy has been a revelation with the Vikings and deserves another chance. Ben Johnson looks impressive with all those weapons in Detroit. But how does he look with lesser talent? That remains to be seen. [Reply]

Exactly. You have a franchise QB who coming out had Mahomes as a comp. You don’t straddle him with another defense minded HC. You get one who can develop him and Johnson would be a great pick. [Reply]

Flores would be a good hire for a team with an established QB. Just not sure if he’s the right guy to lead the development of Williams. [Reply]
Can't blame Poles for wanting nothing to do with Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson called the architect of the 49ers defense and the guy that picked their offensive skill players a schmuck that works for basketball guys. Bad mouthed him to the press like a bitch (sources say) and then when Peters was enroute to interview him again Johnson canceled the interview while they were in the air. Very petty fragile guy. He's like a pouty Norv Turner. [Reply]
