I’m convinced he’s served his purpose. Got paid, can go back to being a DC elsewhere and helped us repurpose this team with draft picks. I think we stick with Justin this next year with a similar system but not with Getsy (hopefully Jesus christ) lots of young talent and a new coaching staff to develop them while hopefully being a contender next year. I feel like this was poles idea. Kind of like before with John fox. Scrap team, build youth and culture, but focus on draft picks and not washed up scrubs elsewhere and hope you can fix them. Develop these dudes and get the benefits of them leaving because we can potentially draft better players instead.

I’ll set myself on fire if we have this staff next year

1. 2 or preferably 3 more wins is non-negotiable.
2. Getsy has to be gone.
3. Eberflus needs to convince the team brass that he is going to get the offensive coordinator hire right this time.

This is the only world in which I can imagine being OK with Eberflus staying. I can’t imagine he’d pull off #3 well, but if he somehow had some great plan then maybe.

But even then I think Eberflus might have to go because you’re ideally making at least a 2-year commitment to him with your new QB, and are you really ever comfortable doing that?

Hell no.

I personally don’t see a way he’s coming back if this franchise is serious about winning a championship

Last time the bears ran it back with Nagy an extra year and then drafted a QB with fields

Does history repeat?

I don’t think his coaching is good enough, I think the fact that he won 1 game in the NFC North in 2 years is not a fluke.

Yes the defense is improving but offense isn’t good.

The defense still needs a 3 tech.

We haven’t beaten any amazing QBs.

Eberflus imo can’t stay. A sacrifice of getsy just makes the OC turnover increase which is bad for fields and next QB.

A lot can happen in just a few weeks, right now I’m 50/50.

The idea of starting back up with another new staff is just awful. There is so little to be gained by burning it all down, but also sometimes you gotta burn the field.

no. too many coaching failures and also no upside. not good enough for the highest level of football. he has some good things about him - people calling him an idiot need to pipe down - but he isnt gonna win an NFL HC level chess match anytime soon

If he manages to run the table and beat every team by multiple scores and also wins the super bowl since we aren’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs

Realistic scenario? No

I don’t think we should do it, but I could probably live with it. At least you can say that the defense has been massively improved under his leadership. But I still think it’s unacceptable that we came in for the first three games looking like we might make a run at worst NFL team in decades, and obviously there’s a lot to be said for what pairing up a fresh offensive-minded HC with a QB at #1 could potentially do for the organization, and with the offense still sputtering, it just seems like we need to take that chance.

I would become comfortably numb to the existence of the Chicago Bears

12 men in the huddle Monday night. No. I wouldn’t be comfortable with an inexperienced HC coming back after taking us on the longest losing streak in my life.
