Once again, I know it’s unlikely. But, if we are to fire Eberflus and go with an offensively minded guy we need to get a great defensive coordinator to ensure our defense performs.
Take a look at SB caliber teams that have had offensively minded guys as a head coach but a great defensive coordinator: 2019 49ers with Shanahan and Saleh Bengals with Taylor and Anarumo Chiefs with Reid and Spagnola
Saleh likely won’t be fired but I can see a reason for him to be fired. He picked Zach Wilson, and I’ve seen reports of the team thinking he’s a “Zach Wilson apologist” and that they’re fed up with it. Idk the truth of it but he could be on the hot seat although unlikely. Especially if they keep losing.
But, he has built great defenses under his command, such as the 49ers and Jets current defenses, he did most of the work on it considering both teams had bad defenses before he came over.
How would you feel about him being defensive coordinator for the Bears? Assuming we get an offensively minded guy but I doubt he gets fired so this is a perfect scenario for me.

Lovie or die.
We need to exercise this demon. The universe keeps giving us signs to bring him home and it just hasn’t happened.
