Eberflus Legacy

Is this true?

It sure is true.....shocking, isn't it?

Eberflus is just a symptom of the problem. Getting rid of him won't solve the problem. Yes he needs to go but that is just putting a bandaid on the bigger issue.

Eberflus, Nagy, Trestman, even Fox and to a lesser degree Lovie have all picked because they were 'nice' coaches. They were picked precisely because they weren't going to cause any controversy for the McCaskey organization. I call it the Mike Ditka effect.

Ditka was brash. He was bold. He was outspoken. And sometimes he embarrassed the organization. While he was winning there wasn't much the McCaskeys could do while he was winning games and taking the team to the playoffs but once he became vulnerable (right or wrong) he was gone. He was never a McCaskey hire and they wanted someone that wouldn't be controversial. That is part of the reason why coaches hired afterwards are so milquetoast. Just like Hard Knocks, nothing can be done to make the name of the Bears, and the McCaskey family in particular, look bad.

So we will get rid of Eberflus and get another coach that says the right things, gives the impression of knowledge and in the end the team will be just as middle of the road to out and out lousy as it has been. The goal is to protect the brand, not excel on the field. If that happens great but optics will always trump competence. We may get the occasional winning season but no Alpha style coach will want to work with this organization.

Great post! Seriously, I nominate this post as OP-ED Post of the Year. You f*^ken' nail it!

Funny...however, I'm only laughing on the outside.

I think @bamainatlanta is good people. I like Rosie Perez. I’ve met her. Can we all just #healtogether ?

From only knowing him by his posts....Bama is definitely good people.....

What's less shocking is my inability to read what Kittie's was saying.

For coaches who were with their teams for more than 2 years, he has to be up there with the worst head coaches of all time. It's like Hue Jackson, Matt Patricia, and Matt Eberflus, in no particular order.

Hard to disagree. Every year I was playing Madden franchise it made me sick seeing Fatty Matty Patty winning Super Bowls and retiring with 5 rings and a HoF. The only good that came out of Fatty Matty Patty is the "180° effect." If the previous HC was offensive guy, next is defensive. Fatty Matty Patty was a guy that absolutely always made the correct tactical choice on the sidelines during a game, never once made a mistake, was literally a rocket scientist, etc. But it didn't matter because his men didn't play for him, they didn't respect him. So now we have the opposite, our men would go thru the gates of Hell for MCDC, but he does make mistakes on the sidelines during games. But I'll take it. Hopefully y'all get a "180° effect" next hire.

How about Trestman who popped up in some graphic as a fucking Chargers 'offensive assistant'?

I saw that and it was like hearing that Dick Van Dyke hasn't been dead for the last 20 years and is actually still alive.

What's also surprising about DVD is he reportedly is/was a heavy drinker. Maybe he's alive but his liver is dead.....lol.....

Let’s be honest, Eberflus is putting together the kind of tenure that we’ll be talking about for generations. It’s the kind of incompetence we see once in a lifetime. It honestly hilarious just thinking about it.

He will be a footnote

Everlose was not a nice guy. He spent most of this season throwing his players under the bus to deflect blame…. Screw him.

You mean like Phil Emery and Ryan Pace being demoted to being Falcons scouts at the same time? I would love to be in that breakfast room. How about Trestman who popped up in some graphic as a fucking Chargers 'offensive assistant'?

I’m pretty sure Trestman is a professor at University of Miami too lol

He managed to do what many would have thought was impossible: He actually was a worse HC than Marc Trestman.

Legendary.
