Bears coach Matt Eberflus is 3-18 as head coach, with a 14-game losing streak.
Tonight they have 3 wins and 19 losses, and a losing streak could put them in 15th place. Some wonder if this is the end of the Everflus experiment in Chicago.
We think we have enough information to know that Eberflus is a recently successful coordinator who didn’t succeed in the next-highest job (some do, some don’t). , there are important perspectives to keep in mind when considering the possibility of dispatching Eberflus. There are only five weeks left until the 2023 season. There is no obvious candidate on the coaching staff to take over as the team’s interim head coach.
This is the staff. There is no former head coach. There are no past or imminent future head coaching candidates on the list.
Of course, the Colts proved last year that they can take ownership off the board if they wish. Jim Irsay brought Jeff in on Saturday. In theory, the Bears could hire anyone to replace him if they decide to move on from Eberflus with 12 games left in 2023.
Team president Kevin Warren, who took over after Eberflus and general manager Ryan Pauls were hired, will have a lot of say in whether the coach leaves and who the interim coach will be. Dew. The best bet for now may be to ride out the season and make a decision after the season is over.
Considering how it started for Bears fans, it can’t end anytime soon.
