Chicago Bears hire Matt Eberflus as the franchise’s 17th head coach: ‘We will do everything in our power to bring a Super Bowl championship back to Chicago’

Citing his experience, passion, character and attention to detail, Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles named Matt Eberflus the 17th head coach in franchise history Thursday evening. Eberflus, …

Players laud Eberflus for his communication skills and leadership style. He is known as a detail-oriented coach with a knack for connecting with players and fellow coaches. Eberflus has earned a reputation for being able to blend his strategic insight with the personnel he has to work with, loading his defense with only as much as players can handle.

Dick for brains, I already said I like the GM hiring. Idiot

So then you like 1 thing the Bears have ever done, you saggy-balled geriatric knuckle-dragger. That's great.

I would love to know how to pronounce the guys name

Sometimes that happens. Sometimes it doesn't as is the case with Greg Roman or Pep Hamilton.

so when developing the most important position we have to hope our OC isnt good enough to get a HC job? great..

Having a great offensive minded HC does 2 things.. if your O is working great there is always the thought that is it because of the HC and less to do with the OC. When the HC is a defensive guy, 100% of the success on the O is being attributed to the OC so much higher chance of getting plucked for a HC job.

And in the case that your OC gets plucked.. if your HC is an offensive guy and created the system.. then almost nothing changes for your young developing QB, the same can not be said when your HC is a defensive guy..

Hope it's a good hire, willing to give him a fair shot. I'd be lying if I said I was excited though.

I really thought Daboll + Fields was as good of a match as any in this coaching cycle so disappointed that we'll be going defensive head coach when literally every team in the conference title games are offensive head coaches and every rule change favors the offense.

Best part is that its easier to fire OC then HC.

I was starting to warm to the idea of Caldwell. Oh well.

On the surface it looks like they are playing it safe but who knows, maybe he has a stud OC in his back pocket? Time will tell and I'll be happy with any notable improvement next year as long as Fields takes the next step.

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

Why?

Pretty sure Mack was once all-pro as DE (4-3) and OLB (3-4) in the same season.

Seems like Daboll wants to reunite with Tua in Miami.

Don't know much about him.

I was really excited about him as an option after reading this piece in the Trib

‘Relentless.’ ‘A terrific teacher.’ The ‘it factor.’ Those who have coached with and played for Matt Eberflus rave about his coaching potential.

Questions surrounded Matt Eberflus both times he was hired as a defensive coordinator, and at each stop he more than satisfied the inquiries. Now the Chicago Bears are seeking an answer to whether …

Maybe but John Fox and Fargo had different schemes.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

According to Google, Eberflus has a sibling named Christel McCaskey. Hmm.

I know 4 separate McDonalds and O'Sullivan's who are not related to each other.

You never know - maybe the OC will be Caldwell!
