This is where I'm at. Continuity for the offense is far more important than for the defense. Not to say it's not important, but having the same playcaller/QB coach for your QB is immeasurably important.
Look at Josh Allen and Buffalo. He seems to be just slightly more careless with the ball this season than last season. Even though Dorsey was right there with Daboll, it seems that something is slightly off without him. 10 points at home in the playoffs is unacceptable for that team. Meanwhile, down in NYJersey, Daniel Jones looked the best he has in his career under Daboll.
Best cast scenario for the Bears, Fields improves over the next two years and Getsy gets hired to be a HC. Now Fields is either learning a new offense, or working with a new playcaller an d QB coach that may or may not get the same results as Getsy got.

he does have those John Fox placeholder qualities. Poles probably builds the team 2023 and 2024 offseasons, and barring they start winning a ton of games, Eberflus probably gets jettisoned and Fields will have played his 5th season on franchise tag and they just go all new with coaches and quarterback then.

Hi ahcem!
Eber is tied to Fields play, just like Matt Nagy was tied to Mitch . . .
Both have little say in the matter. It's their job to make it work. Force fed even. They both don't have the clout or rank to perma bench their <chosen one> midseason like hall of fame lock head coach Mike Tomlin did to poor mitchell.
Zac Taylor of the Bengals won 2 games followed by a 4 game season. I bet bengal fans were calling for his head? right? what say you?
Zac's fortunes turned soon as . . .and became a genius. Can Fields play same role or is is he just destined to be added to the #ohiostate list?

Nagy wasn't force fed anything. He walked into the job with Mitch as hit qb with eyes wide open. He had evaluated Mitch ahead of the 2017 draft and knew what he was getting into. He thought he could make it work. Clearly he was not able to do so. The fact he couldn't do any better with any other qb is on Nagy. He had a great first year due to Fangio's defense and couldn't back any of it up and develop an offense that could points on the board regardless of who he had at qb.

In General Terms - a Defense can be Good with Talent alone and only competent coaching.
An offense requires good coaching AND good talent to be good in the NFL.
The Bears have done the same thing over and over again, they flop back and forth between hiring Offensive and Defensive minded HC. because they let the previous HC influence the decision.
Lovie to Trestman to Fox to Nagy to Flus.
I think keeping Flus for another year will prove to be a mistake, but only time will tell.

Again though, those were guys brought in on Nagy's watch. So, he signed off on the Bears acquiring them and that he thought he could make it work with them. The fact that the offense always sucked with any qb regardless of experience or athletism to me again shows Nagy was the core problem. He never seemed to make any real changes to his offense to play to his player's strengths. And all the penalties, false starts, formation issues, substitution issues, lack of offensive rhythm show that he also was not particularly great at getting his team to understand the details. Hell, he had to essentially fire himself at least twice as an offensive coordinator. That is clearly a coaching issue.

Except for Smith and Quinn in 2021, all of these veterans took more plays off then they hustled in.
