Doesn’t Harbaugh like personnel control? I wonder how tf that would happen with Poles.

To be fair, if he could turn around this team he’d be a legend in Chicago. That may be enough motivation

How would Dianna Russini know any of this?
Because Poles told her, or Poles told someone to tell her
IF?!?!?
If something happens that acts as a “sign” to hire Harbaugh…
I just hope that when he fires Eberflus, Poles tells him that he just didn't execute well enough, then has a laugh at his expense and walks out of the room.
I don’t trust anything from the herd but if we can bring a proven winner to chicago I’m all for it
I'm sure Poles has had conversations or keeps a list of all the top coaching candidates in case he fires Flus. Pretty sure this is something every GM in the league does if their coach has won 7 games in 2 years.

This just feels weird. Obviously there would only be a few people who would provide this information, and it kind of feels like Poles put this out there to distance himself from Eberflus.

I still like that also.

Then fire Eberflus today and start courting Harbaugh now.
We can’t cause Eberflus’ feelings might be hurt 😞
Who would coach then? We have no DC. We would lose our DC and HC. And to be honest the defense has been great recently minus the last 4 minutes of the lions game. He’s here to the end of the season unfortunately.
“Hurr just let Fields call the plays to show us what he’s capable of doing or else he’s a trash QB and we need to go all-in on some college QB!”
/s
You make a wonderful point though that flus is our DC and HC both. I’d love to see him hit the pavement midseason but he wears too many hats.
Promote LB coach to be new DC. Make Special teams coach new HC
Yeah Christ people are like “b…b… but we don’t have a DC?!”
You promote people for the interim. The team isn’t going anywhere with Eberflus anyway, so see if ANY of the guys still on staff can get some better production from the team.
Ask Madden could give us better results right now
At least Ask Madden wouldnt call 30 screens a game
So you think all a DC does is call plays on game day?

IF this is true, Eberflus is done. His goose is cooked if they're thinking about who they want to replace him with already.
Let's not complicate this.
Harbaugh -> Caleb Williams -> MHJ
Boom. Rebuild complete.
Harbaugh > MHJ > Fashanu.
Dude. Fields sucks and won’t be on this roster come 2024 week 1
MHJ probably won't be there at our pick, it's one of the linemen or Nabers.
We could get MH jr with our 1st pick from Carolina.

This justifies a shot of Malort
I did that face you get when taking a shot of Malort just reading this.
Going the conservative route repeatedly (Fox, Nagy, and Poles) has done nothing but bring losses. What’s the downside in making a splash like this? Honestly.
Please please please please please
This definitely helps our chances of landing Jim Harbaugh.
How?
Before everyone gets too excited, the Bears would be idiots if they weren’t talking about the possibility of firing Eberflus and hiring another coach. Poles and Warren aren’t idiots.
At this point, they will be starting to put together a list of potential coaches and Jim Harbaugh will be on it. That’s probably about as far as they’ve gotten, so throwing his name out there means less than nothing. It doesn’t mean JH is coming and it doesn’t mean he’s not coming. So relax and let it play out, you people will end up with strokes.
Probably 1st on the list.
Guys after researching we aren’t getting him. Cause Bears are too cheap, they alway cheap out on coaches. Eberflus is making 4.5 million per year which ranks amongst the lowest in the league. When we fired Nagy, logic would dictate finding a great OC who excels at playcalling as next HC. Instead we got a mediocre DC who runs a vanilla cover 2 mostly. Why $$$ Harbaugh would cost $12+ million per year. Bears will never pay that. This is also why they likely even keep Eberflus and why they always keep coaches around well after expiration date, cause even those cheap salaries they don’t want to lose. They are penny pinchers. It isn’t class or any noble virtue. Scrooge has nothing on them

Sources say my fandom of the team will no longer exist if the Chicago Bears keep Matt Eberflus for next year
Hey here's an article that says what you wanna hear! Click me!
And I'm fartin rainbows.
This should be a non story. If the Bears had not had that conversation yet it would be malfeasance for malfeasances sake. They should be having conversations about replacing coaches and players every day, even if we were good.
Wish we would’ve just brought him in two years ago instead of eberflus, the keep fields/draft QB decision would’ve easily been made this year.
Whatever head coach we do end up getting, hopefully an offensive minded coach like Harbaugh or Ben Johnson, should have some input in the decision although I’m sure Poles will make the final call.
My only concern with Jim, is the possibility of the game passing on his style. It's been a while since he left the 49ers for Michigan. Can anyone tell why I might be wrong or what I've missed out.
As a Michigan fan, I wouldn’t be too concerned. He’s been really good the last few years at recognizing any deficiencies and acting accordingly. Don Brown was a good DC, but stubbornly stuck to a system that was ill-equipped to battle a modern passing offense when the talent level was equal. So he went out and got Mike MacDonald (now the Ravens DC) and Jesse Minter (current DC) who’ve implemented more pro-style scheme.
On offense, he still likes to run the ball, but I don’t see him doing that in the NFL. I’d be extremely sad if he Harbaugh bailed on Michigan, but if he did join the Bears, I could actually see him pulling for his current QB, JJ McCarthy instead of using a pick on Williams or Maye. Him and JJ seem to have a vibe and in my extremely biased opinion, I think JJ is the best pro QB prospect.
JJ is definitely good. And if we get MH jr as well.......
I would be more concerned if they weren't having conversations about these kind of things. They are scouting a new head coach as they should be. It is a large part of their jobs. The only way it really becomes a decision about moving on from Flus is if he wins at least 4 of the last 5. That's when the decision-making becomes interesting.
With how well the defense is playing under his direct playcalling, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just aim to get a better OC.
That is good news.
