Ryan Poles (GM of Chicago Bears) on Winning A Super Bowl, Becoming GM of The Chicago Bears

[@Trebla1972]

First comments: "Oh what a great interview! Poles sounds like a great leader of men!" Spongebob French voice: "3 months" later"... THIS INTERVIEW AGED BADLY! 😂😂😂😂

[@TheAuxiliaryCord]

You strike me as a good husband and father, want to help run the Bears?

[@swarrin87]

I, too, am here to laugh at how horrible this interview aged 😂

[@Magicmike12]

Poles was leaning towards Chicago or Minnesota for the GM job but George M met him at the airport in the middle of the night & welcomed him to the Bears & showed him everything at Halas Hall & offered him the job & Poles never went back to Minnesota for his final interview, George finally did something right for the very 1st time ever, we got lucky……

[@GSTT40]

Never knew that, great work George.

This was a FANTASTIC interview!

[@bryangilmore5477]

Wow such a great podcast & question & answer session all 3 people on the show really did well. It's a really good look inside the story & what it took to get where Ryan wanted to be & continuing to strive for the future goals. Just a flat out great interview by all sides!

[@williamashe9917]

Ryan's interview speaks to me of his commitment , dedication, and intellect required to " take the North and never give it back!" Chicago's best find to lead our Bears. I fell sincere respect for his beliefs about culture of this Bears Organization. Hats off to George!

[@Duffyartwork]

Carolina turned him away, and then he absolutely crushed them with a franchise altering trade

[@sonnymacklin5269]

Caro crushed themselves. He made the trade THEY wanted and it has only worked for Bears...so far. There was no malice involved. Poles is a pro in character too.

[@barryturner2902]

Yes, small steps of improvement! Ryan Poles is a GROWING leader! Thoughtful interview! Thank you!

[@anna888]

Great interview! I love that Ryan understands the impact of the team on the city & the fans. He seems to be an extremely thoughtful leader in and out of the building. He has a great success story. Can someone tell me what his KZbin channel name is? I missed it if it was mentioned. Thank you! 🐻⬇

A great interview and a great podcast -- Ryan Poles is undressed here. Bears fans, watch this interview in its entirety to understand the philosophy behind our general manager. It's really a fine interview.

[@michaelkawell3300]

Poles was so happy they got the win last week.He and jaylon Johnson had a great moment at the end of the game.Poles will go down next to Jim finks as the best gm the bears had.A super bowl is coming real real soon.1-0 to start it off.Big game coming up and I believe Caleb is coming out smoking and we come home with a victory 2-0

I thought these guys would have been really good for a GM search and then it turns out they did the interview for the president. Ha ! Bear Down Bears !

[@VladSeaz]

He’s leading the Bears into the toilet

[@michaelconrad1539]

11-25. Ok…..now 11-26 and continuing to fail upward. Nate Davis benched. Jalen Carter top ten PFF D Tackle, Wright is ranked 64 of 80 for tackles. 18 million and a draft pick for Allen who doesn’t play. Nice deal for Everett (#14 he’s kind of invisible) no production. Swift? Good guy but why? 24 mill/16 guaranteed. Chase whoever pool. Maybe just a litttttttle early with the “Leadership” awards ok? Until he leads them somewhere anyway.

[@brianmcnamara683]

pulled off the greatest trade of all time and is quickly ascending as one of the best gms in the league as the 2nd youngest. cope

[@michaelconrad1539]

Winning by losing. Exactly . Probably just needs a "Hail Mary" finish. Deal.

[@OD_green7]

@@brianmcnamara683 What has the trade yielded him? It was a tear down tankathon TWO YEARS ago and they had 3 wins. They will have a lousy 4 this year. He hired Flus who was going to be fired by the Colts. It took Jaylon Johnson becoming completely unhinged postgame for them to fire him in the most cluster of a way. No one has Poles on a pedestal except you. TJ Edwards was his only good signing and Gordon/Brisker his only good draft picks (CW18/Rome fell in his lap by chance) Cope.

[@Magicmike12]

He talks about Ian quite a bit & that is because both Ian & Poles were roommates together & are best friends, Ian has had multiple teams instrested in him to be there GM but because of Poles close relationship, Poles doesn’t want him to leave so he got Ian a pay raise to stay I believe….

[@twintiersfilmfest1366]

No wonder why he fleeced the Panthers with the trade!

[@ChewsCarefully]

Well, if you're high on Fields you'll probably love & hate everything I'm about to include here. 1) Did you know that Fields set accuracy records in college? Most NFL fans dismiss this saying "ANYONE could have succeeded with *_that_* receiving corps." But that makes no sense. He didn't set records for "times the receivers had to adjust to his *inaccurate* passes." It's literally how often his receivers benefited from not having to even reach for the ball let alone slow down or speed up. As his college highlights kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3uyYoOpqtV5lbc clearly show, he launched low-flying missiles that arced over the heads of defenders too quickly to make any moves on & too high to reach anyway. Only to land in the hands of his still-moving covered receivers. & you know what? He *still* throws these. We've seen him throw like this to Pickens & I think every time the pass was erased by the Steelers committing penalties. Welcome to Fields' luck. More on that later. 2) He gets to the Bears & Nagy looks at him as if to say _"I_ didn't order a rookie QB." With his level of ineptitude it's really hard to tell what was Instant Dislike or simple stupidity. Either way he A) never allowed Fields to take practice with the starting receivers, then B) when he was forced to put him in games, doubled down on his stupid mistake of never seeing what Fields could do in practice by "asking" him to throw like Aaron Rodgers. "Rodgers is the best QB in the league. Can you simply alter all of your mechanics to imitate his?" I put "asked" in quotation marks because Fields treats EVERYONE with Deference & Respect, especially coaches. & when a coach "asks" a player anything, the player obeys. He still managed to hit his receivers in the hands with passes or would have. If _this_ wasn't his receiver corps in the NFL kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ3TkqyXZd2tY5Y. Mooney in particular showed Kadarius Toney how to deflect Perfect Passes to anyone but yourself & the fact that he is doing So Well on the Falcons is driving me nuts. At most 3 of those passes are truly TO-worthy. He threw 10 thanks to Mooney & the other receivers falling down to avoid making catches. 3) Then Poles & Eberflus came in. Where to begin? Matt Eberflus was filmed sabotaging Justin Fields multiple times. You think the botched hug between Saleh & Rodgers was something? 1) Fields once went to shake 'Flus' hand after scoring a TD. 'Flus saw the hand, looked at Fields, held his eyes for a second. Then he coldly turned away without a word. I don't think I can properly communicate just how immense this was. It's as if he kneed Fields in the gut or nuts, pantsed him while he squirmed in pain then asked the whole team to laugh at him while he was on the ground. Because he did this in front of the ENTIRE TEAM! & in that moment everyone should have known the sabotage was on. 4) 'Flus boasted that He Decides what plays to limit the offense to. 5) Week 4 or 5 Fields "suddenly Developed" a tendency to stop himself throwing to Wide Open receivers. If ANY QB suddenly starts this the team should take him into protocol. When the Bears didn't do that & Fields continued doing this, reporters realized that the Bears knew he wasn't concussed without checking. Ergo, Fields was executing the plays As Called. Reporters realized that Eberflus was "asking" (because when your coach "asks you" to do A, what choice do you have?) Fields to Not Throw to certain receivers on certain plays. This is where fans evolved the "he holds onto the ball too long" meme as if this had Always Been Happening. 6) Fields finally called this out publicly after week 6. 7) The Bears changed their entire playbook over the next 4 weeks then switched back, proving with both actions that yes, play-calling was 100% responsible for their woes. Because they averaged 31 points a game under the new plays. 8) Then they Voluntarily Switched Back to calling plays they knew produced under 20 a game. This alone would have gotten ANY HC fired. (If you take the POV that the OC did all this, then the HC is a moron for not noticing). So by no later than week 5 of '22 Eberflus revealed that he had No Intention to make things work with Fields & set about sabotaging Fields' career. Fields' confidence is shattered because he Keeps Thinking That if he does what he's asked/told to do, the Intellectually Superior Coaches will reward him. Arthur Smith has no intellect. He's 100% reactionary. He even tells us so. He's reducing Pickens' snaps as he reduced those of Pitts & Bijan. Fields ran in 2 TDs in the first game the Steelers score over 20 in, they're benching him. Tomlin smiles all the while & people mistake this for someone who knows what they're doing. Didn't Tomlin start Trubisky over Pickett & Rudolph? Smith believes all the BS rhetoric about Fields including that he's prone to turn the ball over. He hasn't looked at Fields' tape any more than Nagy did & will never design an offense around his strengths. He's using what he thinks he knows as an excuse to limit Fields, then using any mistakes that happen within his structure to restrict Fields more. That INT Fields threw on that terrible play where he was told to throw a screen with anticipation & without looking? That wasn't improv. That was Smith's play-call. He used that INT as an excuse to further remove long-passing plays. That's why they lost to Dallas. Not one long-passing play called all game. & as I said, Fields will obey what his coaches tell him to do No Matter What. There's more but this was long enough.
