Ultimately, it is the McCaskeys.
It’s their family business.
It’s their name.

It’s their legacy.
The McCaskeys seem like nice people who have zero ability or interest in running a winning franchise.
If the McCaskeys aren’t in charge, then who is?
It’s his staff, right?
He’s now on his 3rd offensive playcaller in three seasons.
He’s also on his 2nd defensive coordinator.
That might be an actual record for incompetence.
To me (which I said in January as well) is a fireable offense.
Eberflus has objectively failed at this.
Yet he is allowed to survive.
This decision was well-thought-out, one that was conducted deliberately and respectfully.
I would like to thank Shane for his efforts and wish him the best moving forward."
We didn’t exactly get that here.
Was Poles the final word?
Then we got this bombshell from Silvy this morning
Full scale mutiny.
Dysfunction off the charts.
I’d love to know which vets want to see Bagent get a start.
My guess is that it’s a guy named Denniston.
That is a complete guess though.
Then you have to wonder if Poles even has the authority and autonomy to go get a new coach.
Remember this report from Schefter?
Two days of discussing the future of Matt Eberflus that ended up with him being retained.
Who was in that meeting?
Who was arguing for him to stay?
Who wanted him shit canned?
What was the logic for keeping him?
Who ultimately made that decision?
Who won the argument?
Who the FUCK is in charge?
It’s terrible if you’re building your culture.
That’s how it reads.
So if you’re hoping that the Bears will get the next coaching hire right, think again.
We are stuck in the same perpetual cycle.
No leadership at all from the very top.
The cycle just continues.
How is George McCaskey not FURIOUS at these reports?
Bro, go build the stadium, sell the ads, and shut the fuck up.
Poles should just call a press conference and say everything he knows.
If you wanted to keep Eberflus…fucking say so.
If you wanted to fire him this year, but were told you couldn’t…say that too.
Either way you will rally people behind you because all people want is the truth and some clarity.
Nobody knows who wields the power and nobody knows who to blame.
Ultimately it’s everyone and the only way out is to sell to someone who cares about winning.
