2024 NFL Coaches on the Hot Seat & Front Office Changes (1 Viewer)

holy crap

Bears coach Matt Eberflus said he is confident he will be coaching the team in Week 14 against the 49ers.

Firing Eberflus mid-season won’t turn around a season that has gone awry for the Bears since their bye week, but it’s a move that most feel could come at any time. Thursday’s clock management gaffe is just the latest in a number of indictments that have built against Eberflus’ coaching acumen over the years, and will be remembered as one of his more infamous moments when he is inevitably let go by the team. Firing Eberflus in mid-season would be more about sending a message than giving the team a tactical advantage over the final five weeks of the season, it wouldn’t come as much of a surprise if he remained with the team until season’s end.

like an hour and a half later..

Bears fired HC Matt Eberflus.

Eberflus becomes the first head coach in the Bears’ 100-plus year history to be fired mid-season. Less than two hours after saying he was confident he would be coaching the Bears in Week 14’s game against the 49ers, the organization has decided to pull the plug on the embattled head coach after another underwhelming season. Thursday’s clock management gaffe may have been the final straw for Eberflus, who was already on the hot seat to start the season. A former defensive coordinator turned head coach in 2022, the Bears’ defense showed steady improvement under Eberflus’ watch, and currently ranks ninth in points allowed per game. Unfortunately, the team never figured out it’s offensive identity, ranking 20th or worse in yards per game in each of the last three seasons. The hiring and firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron in the same season was another indictment on Eberflus’ inability to get the right people in the building to propel the Bears into the right direction. Eberflus leaves the Bears with a 14-32 record while in the midst of a six-game losing streak. Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown will now takeover as the Bears’ interim head coach for the remaining five weeks of the season, as the team prepares for yet another head coaching search this offseason.

The reason I'm losing my mind is they fired him after his Zoom call with the media, got dayum that's an extra layer of "git the F out!"

Yeah, don't blame your players when you have a proven track record of making horrible decisions. He was making these same mistakes pre-Caleb Williams. And maybe his players are screwing it up to a certain extent. But isn't that what coaches are supposed to do ... have players and assistant coaches prepared.

I can't believe they are rolling in the OC as the interim coach. The same one that is involved with them burning a TO with 43 seconds left during a dead ball. The same one that took 20 seconds to call a play with 27 seconds on the clock. They have already written this guys pink slip for game 17.
