Although soup was on the panel that hired poles, what if Poles was not soups guy, and being the person in charge of player engagement, what if soup was poisoning the waters with the player so to speak just as this new front office was trying to get things off the ground?

That's one situation where I could see this firing being completely justified.
First off, I’d like to say it’s great news that you no longer have me on fake ignore.

Secondly, your idol, the con artist DBB said that the whole committee had Poles as their #1 choice. Are you standing by your statement or would you like to go back to hanging on his every word because #FearPorn

Do you think that they don't ask whom the GM's were going to hire as HC before they hire the GM or something?

That must be one of the first questions asked or is it is in their resume package- And probably scouted all this out and had a pretty good idea months in advance whom they were going to hire for both GM and HC. The interview process is just formalities and reassurance.

As far as Campbells firing - Maybe look at recent events as the cause - Maybe the Union forced the Bears to cancel an OTA or something? Or they found out he was a media source or something of that nature.

What? Who did Poles want?
There are a lot of articles claiming Polian was set on Caldwell and Poles cut him out of the interviews and went his own way and Polian was pissed. Not saying they are accurate but that is the narrative that has been out there.

All of that is based off of DBB claims. Polian was asked about this in a radio interview and insisted it wasn’t true.

I have no problem firing a guy...but while he's on vacation?

Seems kinda beta to me.

Whelp, that would be Poles doing what he wanted.

Which would be the opposite of what conspiracy guy is claiming.

We may not know for a long time, or ever. I wouldn't really expect Polian to admit to being flexed on by Poles, and Poles wouldn't commit career suicide by saying George saddled him with a coach he didn't want. Though ownership has done that to GMs before so it would fit the pattern.

lol. Polian was a Colts guy. What team did Eberflus come from? Coincidence?

Complete speculation, but I have the feeling Polian had a lot of control in the hiring of the GM and HC. It’s why they brought him on board in the first place.

They had already gone through all the interviews and narrowed the field down to a couple guys before they even hired Poles. There had to be follow ups but they were already deep in the process when Poles was hired.

so this is the jump to conclusions post? the guy got fired on vacation so lets run through the two options

1 - poles is just a mean fuck
2 - soup didnt do his job and made up bullshit excuses and poles was fed up

we'll find out in a week or two

It needs zero justification. If Poles simply doesn't care for or want to work with him he's free to do this. Put your (great) big boy pants on. People come and go in these positions all the time.

What a franchise. A guy who wasn't qualified to be apart of a committee to find a GM in the first place gets fired by the guy he allegedly picked. Now do the party planner Tanesha Wade, George and Teddy and we might be onto something.
Can't see the tweet. Somehow, I'm strangely blocked by Brad Biggs.... Never interacted with the guy, but somehow someway, he blocked me. lol:shifty:

99% of the pepple commenting had no clue who this dude was before he was added to search committee.

Now all of a sudden his firing is big news. Slow offseason I guess.

Are you new to CCS? There have been way worse and more insignificant threads/news to garner attention.

He has more posts than anyone on the site and still seems like he's brand new. I guess that's how it goes when you're too busy reading your own posts over and over again.
