So Hoyer isn't even going to talk to Juan Soto, but he'll flush $30 million down the toilet on a guy whose biggest workload in the last five years was 78 1/3 IP in 2021.

Maybe it'll work out better than other recent two year deals like those Hoyer gave to Trey Mancini, Tucker Barnhart, and Drew Smyly.

Poles did offer an equal or better contract for Montgomery, and Monty chose the Lions.  Herbert was criminally mismanaged this season by Waldron and Flus.  Did he have a game yesterday?  He hadn't played the first two.  I hated the way Herbery wasn't used this season.  Good teams find a way to use two running backs all the time, case in point the Ravens.  I think that indicts the coaching staff.

Dont forget Poles let Montgomery and Herbert go at RB, both doing very well.  And then there is the criminal attention given to his former position OL.  Nate Davis, revolving C, suspect guards, so-so OT.  Not sure I am on board with Poles building a championship roster.

Trestman was the standard bearer as worst ever, but Eberflus is now in the conversation...

I just listened to an interview on the Score with a Nashville TV guy who happens to be a Bears fan.  Best line was "no I wouldn't have left him at the tarmac, I would take off and push him off at 27,000 feet."  Anyway first thing he said was Vrabel is Mike Ditka.  So you can probably scratch Vrabel off the list already.  George has clear Ditka Derangement Syndrome.  And frankly, I am all in on focusing on the offensive side of the ball for HC.  The Bears got extremely lucky to get Caleb.  I can see why people speculated about another Eli power play.  The Bears will have to accidently trip over themselves toward a successful HC in spite of George.  And the Bears are due for one.

While Poles has his warts, he has put together a competitive roster.  We beat the Commanders, Patriots, and Packers, we are right there in the thick of the race.  That all falls on Eberflus. 

Poles has done a good job with the roster building.  Was Eberflus a prearranged marriage for Poles?  I think so.  Would it have made sense to start fresh with a new head coach this past offseason?  Yes, but as Friday shows us, not without the McCaskey's blessing.  Poles gets his opportunity to pick his coach this time, and not screw it up.

Trace Armstrong had his fingers in this marriage.  Who represents Brown, Shanahan, Vrabel?
