That’s not a reach. It’s a pretty logical conclusion to come to.
And again, it doesn’t matter what the fans think. If Poles truly felt EB gave him the best chance to win, he would’ve given himself the best chance to win.
Not hiring the best man for the job because of how fans would react is REALLY setting yourself up for failure.

It’s not hard to figure out why a guy interviewing for a job wouldn’t include his own tree guys as his coaching list and why he’d be reluctant to run the same system of the coach who got shit canned. He didn’t run the round 1 interviews and his coaching list was submitted as part of his own interview process. Not the ideal time to sell the bears that he was planning to give them more of the same. And he’s not going to string along Eb for a token interview.
Not hard to figure out. He seemed very interested in going defense. And he knows eberflus through Ballard. It moved quickly so poles likely knew who he was hiring as soon as he was hired. Again, there are many many legit reasons why poles didn’t interview EB that have nothing to do with respect.
