The old way wasn't working. Why not try something new in the modern era of football?


Preach! No guarantee the new way will work either but I’d rather the Vikes be ahead of the curve than behind it. 


There are no guarantees but I would rather try something new that bang my head against the wall doing the same thing.

The traditional way hasn't done shit for us for over 60 years. They could hire Mr. Bean as GM as long as he wins us a damn SB.

Let's do this.

I have been a Vikings fan for a long long time. I have dreamed of a Vikings coach who is an innovator and not an imitator. Something along the lines of a Bill Walsh or even Bellicheck.
There have been a few innovative coordinators but not so much at the head coaching position.
Perhaps this will be the GM hire to bring us that coach.
Please, no retreads.

If he gets Demeco Ryans in, we'll truly have a new era in football. Plus hiring two minorities? Goodell will be in heaven.

Do the Bears just really like guys named Ryan P?

Saves a ton on monagramming. Might be able to pay Kruetz $17.50 an hour now.

Jim Caldwell is in the building in Chicago today. An ex head coach who’s been there before could be the match with 36-year-old Ryan Poles. If so, Marvin Lewis, Dan Quinn, Todd Bowles, Raheem Morris could all be names to consider there, too.

Well, I picked Mensah from the start, and love the idea of Demeco Ryans.   Hopefully, that's where we go.  It would certainly check the boxes of new blood and a different direction.  I love that we still have Brez to make it all work.  :)

Apparently Poles played in a couple of Bears preseason games, in 2008 or around there.

The #Bears will have #Cowboys DC Dan Quinn in for his second interview tomorrow. He’s a finalist in Chicago, as he is in Denver.

Ryan Poles said in a statement on his hiring: "The Chicago Bears are one of the flagship franchises in the National Football League and are recognized as one of the most prestigious clubs in all of sports. It's an honor for me to join such a well-regarded organization."

Obviously he played long enough to suffer from CTE.
