I’m struggling with this one. Obviously I want this coaching staff gone, but what benefit does letting them go now bring? Would love to hear about past successes if anyone has any.
I know the Panthers fired Rhule and I believe some other guys and Panthers made a good run.
More often than not, firing coaches will definitely improve a team, but nothing crazy as the team is still bad. But, reversing probable losses with wins, is pretty difficult, so, even just an extra 2 wins is still a big feat
Without 1 Specific person lined up right this second. In this teams current structure no it doesn’t unfortunately make sense to fire. Due to lack of people to step up into OC, DC and HC spot. One of those have to wait for Black Monday. Because you would need to fire Eberflus and Getsy at the same time.
The one person I am referring to is Jim Harbaugh. Even that has complexities because gotta buy out his contract and pass through Michigan to essentially release him and Big 10 the same.
Browns went 5-3 after getting rid of Hue Jackson who was 3-36-1. Didn’t do much for the Browns long term though. I don’t think getting rid of Flus now does much, and expect that he’s likely gone right after the season if the Bears are moving on from him.
I mean, they beat the Steelers 2 years later to end their playoff win drought.
Then they ran baker out of town to pick up a rapist and are wasting a super bowl caliber defense.
It very much did good in the long term.
I don’t think they should be fired mid season because I think we will make a run to the playoffs I want them fired midseason because they are terrible at their job and if I was as bad my my job as they were I wouldn’t get another 2 months.
There is some merit to getting started on the head coaching search sooner rather than later. Whether that be auditioning a coordinator as an intern or having a more public process with those in the org and agents before the season ends.

I think it would mostly be about seeing what can be salvaged for next season.

The 2021 Raiders weren’t really a bottom tier team, but they can be used as an example. Gruden resigned as the teams coach and they were sitting at 6-7 at a point that year.
Keep in mind all the Henry Ruggs stuff also happened that season. They got Rich Bisaccia as their interim and despite all the hardship they faced, they went 10-7 and made the playoffs.
Keeping the topic on the Raiders, they fired Josh McDaniels and with Antonio Pierce they are 2-1, 5-6 as a team. They can very well make the playoffs because the culture in that building has changed.
Firing Eberflus and Getsy likely won’t punch the Bears a playoff ticket right now considering we’re at 3-8, but it can help to get culture all together, which is more important. You don’t win football games with poor culture.
