Matt Eberflus hired as Bears head coach

[AustinIllini]

I wanted Quinn, but it looks like he intended to stay in Dallas

So Dan Quinn decided to stay as DC in Dallas, so we hired Eberflus.

didn't the Jags carve up the Colts Jan 9, in a must win scenario for the Colts?

He wanted Denver apparently but I think Chicago just went elsewhere

Must he have? What makes you say that? Maybe the Bears just suck?

think scoring 11 had more to do with that

Remember that Mack had 15+ sacks I. 4-3 and Quinn prefers 4-3

NFL Coaches - National Football League - ESPN

National Football League (NBFL) Coaches on ESPN.com.

www.espn.com

Based on that list 4 Non OCs have won Super Bowls (Harbaugh, Tomlin, Bellichek, and Carroll) and 3 O minded HCs have won SBs (Reid, McCarthy, Arians). If you include the guys that coaches this season then the O minded HCs go up to 5 as Gruden and Payton also won. However, as there are more O minded coaches in the NFL the reality is the percentage of Non O minded HCs that won a Super Bowl is actually hire than O minded coaches.

I suspect that has a lot to do with O minded coaches tend to want to call their own plays and only a few of them can actually effectively manage being HC and call plays. So a lot of them contrary to popular belief end up flaming out.

Interesting that you're also more likely**** to win multiple SBs with a defensive minded coach.


**** Obviously skewed data.

It's a welcomed relied from those dingleberries over in B&I!

I like the fact that he was a defensive coordinator and will most likely be hands off with the offense. I highly doubt he tries to convert this over to a 4-3 base defense, the Bears do not have the personnel and limited draft cap this year.

What the hell makes you think a defensive coach won't install the system that he knows best?

Jags D definitely carved up the Colts O. Sans takeaways the Colts D did what a typical Cover 2 does. The Jags made A LOT of FGs

You can be successful with a DC as your head coach. The best coach in the NFL was a DC before he became a head coach. However, the Bears need a legit OC to help with Fields.

And his defense also played pretty well against teams who made the playoffs. What’s your point? Every coach is going to have pros and cons.
