Ryan Poles on where he feels it went wrong with Shane Waldron. Look at how uncomfortable Poles was answering this.

Why does it feel like poles doesn’t have the final say on personnel decisions…

He doesn't.

@bfr_pod I also would imagine the pausing is more about professional filtering. Can’t be brutally honest w/ the media when you are about to begin a coach search.

Swing and a miss! He wasn’t prepared for that question at all.

He could have kept it real and said, "He called the wrong plays and did not take into consideration our player's strengths and skillset"

He was uncomfortable because Trace Armstrong was in the back of the room like this

You can tell poles knows he fucked up the Waldron hire. It was terrible from start to finish and he knows it.

Very weak answer by Poles. His arrow is pointed straight down. He has to be on the hot seat, regardless of what Warren said.

What’s he supposed to say without going against the “family values” or whatever? “Shane sucked. We let flus pick himself OC and he sucked”

Always going to look uncomfortable to answer questions when you know the owners of the only ones that can ok every decision….
