Just note that I hate this coaching staff and I’m really hoping they are gone by the end of the season. I’m wondering what y’all think they can do to get the Bears back on track?
The team has improved this year, which was always the goal. Talent is being developed, the defense is getting better, the OL and DL are gelling, and the DBs are starting to make plays. The big hitch seems to be the OC and the inconsistency on that side of the ball.
If they keep improving this year, keep fighting, I can see Flus keeping his job, and I wouldn’t be mad about it, but a change in OC and DC.
IMO, Poles is doing what he said he would do. His picks are working, his acquisitions are producing, he is poised to be in the Pole position at the draft, and we have a shit ton of cap space for the FA market.
As an optimist, I would rather be the Bears now than the Vikings or the Packers…our needle is moving in the right direction.

If we look decent in the Lions-Vikings-Lions-Browns gauntlet and finish with 6-7 wins, we’ll have ended the season exactly as predicted, so it would feel a little reactionary to fire the coaches. That said, that’s not very likely to happen. I’d also be all for us pulling a Cubs and going after a coach we really want, “fairness” to Eberflus be damned.
Trestman was fired after two seasons. But only because Emery was fired at the same time. The team was lost with little future. There was almost no leadership anywhere in the building.
Every other Bears coach under the McCaskeys has had 6, 4, 12, 3 and 4 years.
Flus and co are you not going anywhere. It’s not a coaches are the problem problem.
self-scout the offensive scheme, play-calling, and player strengths. make it fit what we have. we have PLENTY of strengths on offense. the doomsayers acting like we “just suck” dont know wtf theyre looking at. we have enough on offense right now to score enough points to win games. and as a Fields truther, i mean, unleash him or quit wasting his career and our time (and your opportunity)
that’s what i want
Flus needs to keep throwing in some blitz packages, even if the pressure does continue to get better with Sweat. Wish he setup some inside blitz packages and not just around the tackles to get in the qbs face. Also, have the DBs play closer coverage on the zone calls.
Getsy needs to consistently make game plans where he’s giving Fields stuff that meets his strengths. He doesn’t need to make Fields constantly moving after the snap, but Fields has been night and day when Getsy gets him going early with easy run calls, PA, bootlegs, etc. Getsy did that in the Broncos and WAS games, Fields got into rhythm and his confidence up, and it bled into the other pocket passing calls and him getting rid of the ball faster.
Getsy has shown over and over to turn into Nagy and keep going back to HIS conservative, boring offense instead of the other games he’s called for Fields/Bagent where film analysts have given Getsy a ton of credit.
Hi George
Adapt to the players you have. Eberflus has shown progression and adaptability on the defensive side of the ball. Getsy has shown he is reluctant to make permanent changes to his scheme to fit one of the most talented QBs this franchise has ever seen. Barring an sudden change of heart from Getsy, I’d stay the course with Wberflus and find a new OC. ESPECIALLY if the plan is to draft a QB, you cannot proceed with Getsy.
