Break News: Chicago Bears head coach terminate contract with team after a background Argument with manager concerning….
The Bears are holding their offensive coaching staff accountable, but not Matt Eberflus. The buck is supposed to stop at the head coach, especially one who wasted yet another season in Chicago. Now, with the No. 1 pick in hand, Ryan Poles has opted to give his head coach one last chance.
Chicago showed some promise this season before it spun out of control. Justin Fields, a former first-round pick starting at QB, was inconsistent despite some flashes of elite play, especially when plays broke down in front of him. DJ Moore proved to be a capable No. 1 wide receiver, but Chicago still lacks options there for Fields or whichever quarterback they select with the top-overall pick.
And therein lies the problem. Chicago has the top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft thanks to their trade with the Carolina Panthers prior to last year’s showcase. The Panthers took Bryce Young, and now the Bears have an opportunity to select Caleb Williams, if they choose.
Rather than pairing Williams, Fields or another quarterback with a new head coach — one who hasn’t proven he can lose at the highest level — Poles is sticking with Eberflus, a defensive-minded coach who routinely draws the ire of the fanbase.
