No self respecting OC is going to want to be here with Flus on the hot seat...
Poles ruin this offseason.
I don't think Flus' seat is as hot as you want to think it is. I talked about this in another thread. It has always been said that this was a 3 year process to get the team to be where they want it to be. I actually think Flus has at least 2 more years.

I would add that it sounds like Eberflus is highly respected by NFL people around the league. The Bears have survived a complete nuking of the roster in the tank season and Eberflus delivered what virtually EVERYONE thought would be realistic in this 1st rebuild season of 2023. And the Bears have the opportunity to load up an incredible offense roster for the incoming offensive coordinator - up to and including the top QB is a draft class considered one of the better ones in years. Call me crazy but I would think the job would be attractive to some young guys on the way up, who ultimately want to be a head coach.

32 OC jobs minus the HC like McVay who call their own OFF so maybe 26 real OC jobs then. OCs last on average 2 years in the NFL. All it takes is one down season and suddenly you aren't on the hot list anymore. Remember Jim Bob Cooter? John DeFilippo the Eagles QB coach who was destined to be a HC--I think he was QB coach in Coach under Nagy for a year? Ken Dorsey was hot listed as a HC candidate before this season started.
No self-respecting OC candidate is going to turn down a gig ever. All these guys have enough ego to believe they can turn around the Chicago OFF.
I doubt they are calling Flus, but anyone Flus/Poles talk to is going to listen and seriously consider the position. Might be the last offer you get to be OC in the NFL.
Do the Bears know how to identify good coordinators? Because I don't have faith they do. They missed on both the DC and the OC this season.
A future HOF OC could walk up the Halas Hall, but would the front office know that?
They understand now how to get a great one. Kevin Warren was "key" to this wonderful epiphany moment. He was overheard talking with Poles about how they were going to approach the hire THIS time around. Warren was heard telling Poles "It's all about the arm length, Ryan - we need every single candidate measured for arm length and we will hire a guy with arms like an orangutan. It can't miss. It's all about the arms my boy."
This Warren dude finally gets it.... or wait, maybe he's confusing fixing the OL here? LOL.
Arm length is the single most important stat in football, and in life. It's true.

Well, 2024 will be year 3 for him. And even if his seat is nice and cool right now, that doesn't mean it won't warm up quickly if he has another disastrous start like he did this past season.
What is we miss the playoffs again and only win 6 games?

I don't disagree but isn't their first question of Poles gonna be: "who am I coaching at QB?"

I think we as a board, calling plays by polls in the forum and then relayed to the huddle could do a better job than Getsy. Thats my choice. Crowd source play calling to chitown-bears!!!!

And the answer will be: "either Fields, Caleb, Maye, or Jayden...give me a plan for each of them. And oh...give me a plan for Bagent in case one of them gets hurt and he has to start."

Wouldn't the Bears listen to each one of these candidates proposed plan for the offense they want to run here - for both Fields and a rookie? They should be able to get some excellent input this way even though they'll only hire one of the candidates. If I were interviewing I'd LOVE to get that input. I would be interested to know how these guys would handle different QBs too. Are they able to adjust? How?
