My biggest criticism of Poles is how he put together the coaching staff. We can go back and forth if he actually hired and found Flus, or was just given 3 to make the final pick of.
However, all the rest of the staff he approved.
He approved an OC that had never called plays before.
He approved a QB coach who had never worked in the NFL before.
He approved the DC.
He approved as staff that as a whole, didn’t have a capable HC in waiting, on the off chance that he needed to fire Flus or if something unforeseen happened like Flus got sick or something.
He approved letting Flus be DC & HC, and make D play calls.
All of that is weak, and shows the team is right now, in disarray.
He hasn’t been horrible in drafting, but if he took Pickens last draft instead of another DB, maybe we don’t need to trade for Claypool and could have taken Joey Porter with the 1st pick of the 2nd round instead of him going to the Steelers.
Mismanagement of your staff is a fireable offense.
