BREAKING NEWS: Chicago Fans React to Bears GM Ryan Poles' Postseason Press Conference
The general manager gave few concrete answers during this morning's media gaggle. Bears Nation wasn't impressed.
"I think it's adding more data to the equation. It's digging deeper with our research. All of those things are really important. I think also the team and where it is right now, knowing it better than I ever have before, that's important. I think as you go along, you gain wisdom every single year and every experience that you go through, and that helps you make better decisions as you go."
SO SAID CHICAGO BEARS GM RYAN POLES at Monday’s end-of-the-season press conference, a chat that was vague, uninformative, and a big bowl of word salad.
But that’s Poles’ modus operandi: Why say something when you can say nothing?
To Poles’ credit, he answered every question in a professional, patient matter, but — as his been the case throughout his tenure — he offered little in the way of concrete, useful information, instead playing the role of Captain Obvious.
On Chicago’s hunt for a head coach: “"We’ll look at all avenues to get the best coach here."
Well, duh.
On what he’s looking for in a head coach in terms of taking QB Caleb Williams next level: “Clear vision, developmental mindset, really good game management, and a plan to develop the quarterback.”
Well, duh.
On Bears fans: “"I understand their frustrations with where the team is right now."“
Well, duh.
Needless to say, the interwebs was far from impressed, and Bears Twitter let Poles have it about, well, everything.
As for Chicago Sports Stuff’s reaction to Poles’ yakkity-yak, we say…
