Yeah, that's been clear since Week 2. He's a defensive coordinator and just a decent one.


I tried to tell you.

Why would you want Eberflus to get fired?

Because it appears he sucks


You and a friend others. I was wrong.

Sometimes my memory is bad. Was Eberflus Poles' hire? Didn't the general manager and coaching candidate interviews overlap? I'm almost certain their 1st round of interviews with coaching candidates happened before hiring a GM. Isn't that odd?

A quick internet search shows Poles was named GM on January 25 and Eberflus was named coach January 27.

He picked one of their coaches to get a 6 year deal. Caldwell may have been the better option.

I'm sure Trace Armstrong, who got Poles his job, wanted Poles to hire Eberflus. Poles didn't have the brains or the will to pick somebody else. That's on him.

It's important to remember that Poles has essentially done only two things right since becoming GM: Clear cap space and accumulate draft picks. He appears to be a below average talent evaluator and absolutely should not be trusted to run the 2024 draft.

You can fire Eberflus for his hiring decisions or his incompetence as a coach.

Two coaches gone now in strange circumstances. This team is such a joke.

We now know why the team is outcoached every week, your coaching staff is not exactly focused on coaching football.

This all points to Halas Hall being a cesspool with a terrible workplace culture, and who sets that culture, our perpetually inept owners the McKaskey family.

The Cubs launched David Ross with no reason other than to upgrade, yet the Bears won't get rid of this bum who is historically the worst coach in NFL history. Just crazy to juxtapose both teams right now

There is no reason to get rid of him right now. Let him bumble his way along the rest of the season. Get a high draft pick(s) and then can him at the end of the year.

Now if they keep him in the offseason, then your point is completely true.

Certainly no sports owner, GM, or executive has ever given their coach or manager a vote of confidence only to fire the same coach/manager during the following offseason. This never happens in sports, ever.

Fucking genius :lol: :lol:

I hope Poles didn't release this hit job. It's his job not to fuck up the IR spots. And Poles definitely fucked up on the IR spots this year.

The report that you cite is based entirely on a tweet by Courtney Cronin, who blames "the Bears" for mismanaging the IR situation, not Eberflus specifically.

Jordan Sigler appears to have made an unjustified interpretive leap in "reporting" on Cronin's reporting.

In any event, this is definitely Poles' fault, as you say.

Agreed, which was the reason for the first line.

More and more, Poles is looking like a guy who isn't up to the job.

We're 1.5 years into his regime, and the team still lacks a clear sense of identity on offense and defense. That's not a good sign.

I am coming around on Eberflus, not as a good coach but as a source of entertaining press conferences. Listening to him get grilled about “the meltdown” and give nonsequitur answers and getting his signature “yeah” thrown back at him was hilarious.

I don’t care if he hangs around the rest of the year to help with draft positioning, but they’ve got to can this asshole on the bus ride home from GB.

Hopefully they’re balls deep in scouting the Colts’ organization for another up & comer to take his place.
