Anyone else watching the live presser? Poles said Flus came up short one too many times.

The heights
is there a clip of this? or any idea when Kap said this? I thought he reported that Poles wanted to fire Flus after the New England game and ownership put it on pause. I hadn't yet heard that ownership stopped him from making the change during the past offseason -- that would be a bad bad
If you got the ESPN Chicago app he said it in the 7 o'clock hour he also said poles didn't hire eberflus to bring with it was a "arrange marriage"

Think we had old ass Polian put together a list and Poles had to pick from 3 names.

INSTEAD OF SNAPPING THE BALL
CALEB WAS BUSY CHANGING THE PLAY.

IM STILL PUTTING IT ON CALEB
AS MUCH AS ITS ON FLUS.

I DONT GIVE A fukk WHAT NOBODY SAYS.

IF YOU GOT THE GALL
TO CHANGE THE PLAY WITH 20 SECONDS LEFT YOU HAVE THE GALL
TO CALL A T.O. YOUR DAMN SELF
:comeon:SINCE YOU THOUGHT THERE
WASN'T ENOUGH TIME
TO RUN THE PLAY.
:devil:
:evil:

I get why he changed the play, and if his feelings were correct I get why he wouldn't call the timeout. :yeshrug:

The big ire for me looking back with future info is seeing Flus in real-time trying to rush the same sack play, and holding to that idea as the clock ticked down and still holding on to it in the post games as the correct path. Best thing I can use is the missing the forest for the trees idiom. Nobody else on staff apparently was making the call for the TO, either.

But it all resets if someone calls a TO. How do so many people miss this opportunity? Genuine question for that coaching staff.

They cut the stream off after that Waldron question Poles stumbled over.

Poles had Trace Armstrong flashing before his eyes when that woman asked him that question. :mjlol:

Poles' response regarding relieving Flus seemed a little too bittersweet to me. This reinforces my conspiracy over their friendship and agent link.

Any lead on that arranged marriage report? I find it hard to believe Poles didn't want to hire Flus and keep him around. :skip:

EDIT: I see the above post. I don't buy it just yet.
This makes sense, I posted earlier that it was reported when Flus was hired that Bill Polian had a list of coaches Poles had to pick from.
