Matt Eberflus hired as Bears head coach

[CaliBearFan]

Back to a 4-3 defense bye bye Khalil Mack?

Mack had been an all pro at both DE and OLB so should be no concern there.

No, on a game that the Colts needed to win, he needed his defense not to allow the Jags to score more points than they had all season

What point are you trying to make. The Colts D shit the bed that day. It means jack shit in the grand scheme of things. Every HC in existence has lost games they should have won.

I like this at least. Poles told the old fart to go back to the home, and I will make my own choice, thank you very much.

Don’t know why people are assuming we’ll be instantly converting to a 4-3 Tampa 2 defense now. Flus is the new HC…not the DC…

Yeah I am not buying that. I think he had to basically select from a list, but of that list I think he went with the best hire. At least we won't have an idiot at HC.

That link made me feel better. A coach that actually is teaching technique and the finer points of football.

I think the most encouraging thing we could possibly hear from him is something to effect of"I'm not married to a system or a style. I'm going to hire the best DC and OC I can find and let them do their jobs."

Not a good look for me...Poles interviewed 3 candidates and picked his head coach within 48 hours of being named GM.

This is a relationship you hopefully will have for a long time. Why rush into selecting a coach when you haven't interviewed all the candidates yourself?

Especially when you have a young QB and the #1 goal should be surrounding him with as much as possible to succeed.

You mean we hired a GM who is supposed to have a great plan to convince our owners to hire him and he goes immediately to defense.....why not help our young QB by maybe interviewing an offense coach...

you are assuming all of the work was done after he was hired. Is it possible Poles knew he was going to get a gig and did some work ahead of time, got to know people, did research.

Its not like he picked up a resume for the first time and asked people "why should I hire you" or "where do you see yourself in 3 years" or "tell me about a time you didn't give 100%"

Wait... So Polian picked Poles to run the show. And is not pleased because Poles picked a coach he didn't agree with?

Because that scheme is the one he has been successful at. Why change what you know? Just bring in a DC who knows that system.

Here's where a bunch of fans knee jerk react and pretend they have the slightest clue whether this will be a good or bad hire. I'll wait for the product in the field.

They always hire the wrong guy, and the Bears always suck. So, we have a higher chance of being right. It’s ok to be negative And over react.

This is his source. the clout chasing crybaby.

Not buying a word of it.

 

[UrlacherRules1977]

I do not know much about Kevin Patullo - the potential offensive coordinator hire.

At the very least we know he's worked with a mobile QB before.

 

[Visionman]

Because that scheme is the one he has been successful at. Why change what you know? Just bring in a DC who knows that system.

Again, he’s now a HC, not a DC. He’s not going to be overseeing the defense. He is over the whole team.

We don’t want him to be over the defense…

[pdxbearsfan]

I think the OC is going to be Mike Kafka.

I'm reading Patulla from the eagles.

[thenewguy]

was not disappointed with this thread. 10/10 will absolutely do again

+1 to @Grimson for identifying stupidity of the base

I am really just here for the meltdowns right now. Initial reactions are the best and the usual suspects are really showing out. This place remains undefeated.

Probably just idle gossip.

Go on record in my threat for Eberflus.
