I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know who Matt Eberflus was before the Bears hired him. I then saw the notification and didn’t really know what to think, but seeing that we hired a defensive minded guy for (at the time) a QB going into his second season had me confused.

I thought maybe it would work because anything was better than Nagy (at that point lol), but here we are today. I think a lot of fans didn’t like the hire at first and still don’t like it obviously.

Who did the Bears pass up on/who is someone they could’ve had if they didn’t hire Eberflus?

    Resounding “meh” is my recollection, with some relief that it wasn’t Quinn or Caldwell. I think people were more open to a defensive coach/older guy because they were so disgusted by Nagy, but there were definitely people who wanted Daboll or Bienemy.

      I hated it. I felt we had one thing coming off the Nagy years - build an offense and develop/evaluate Fields. Our defense was OK enough.

      Instead we had a firesale and didn’t invest in offense at all. Which is why I’m fine letting Poles go. He didn’t look at what he had, only what he wanted to do.
