Add any new firings or anything I missed and I’ll add them.
If it weren’t for the slight resurgence I’d say Eberflus on the Bears. 7-10 still ain’t a good record though.
He’s gotta go. 3 historic 4th quarter collapses and anytime we faced a competent team we were outclassed easily. I believe 3-4 of his wins this year came against coaches that have been fired already too
If they dump Fields for a new draft QB, I’d say that the whole front office should probably go 😂
I think the GM should stay, he put them in position to have the number one pick this year with a somewhat decent and young roster.
Traded 1 overall for:
DJ Moore, 9 overall, 61 overall, a 2nd in 2025, …and 1 overall.
Keep that GM.
And a lot of his other draft picks have been good
Bears keep whiffing on QB. Or maybe it’s the coaching hiring that they’ve whiffed? Or both? Eitherway that’s also on the GM. So, I’m kinda 50-50. I agree with a big big asterisk.
I think it’s a combination of player development and organizational ineptitude. They don’t put players in positions to succeed and they don’t develop players. Until recently very few bear draft picks had gotten a second contract. If you can’t develop any position, why would you be able to develop a QB
True. That trade was a masterclass. They probably just gotta get Flus outta there. I’m just being extreme since the Bears have a bundle of positions with greater need than swapping a QB.
So glad 'flus left Indy. Those 4th quarter collapse were epic.
“Guys, let’s do something they won’t expect. Let’s play prevent defense and make sure they can come back to beat us!”
Somehow the bears would play prevent and give up a 30+ yard completion consistently.
Also he would constantly play soft zone coverage giving up easy completions and not rushing enough when what had consistently worked is getting pressure on the QB. It’s infuriating
Oh I agree. He’s not the future for them at all. Even some of their wins this year were ugly as hell.
But I think he bought himself a year sadly.
Yeah we barely beat the panthers. I think this is the right time to be ruthless. He’s done well in the locker room but he his simply not good enough, and with the options out there it’s time to move on even if it is unfair to him
