After yesterday’s debacle, the Bears have done what they had to do.
Chicago has fired head coach Matt Eberflus, according to multiple reports.
Eberflus had gone through his day-after press conference, saying he was expecting to coach against the 49ers in Week 14. That now will not be the case.
He ends his tenure as Bears coach 14-32, including a 4-8 record in 2024.
The ending of Chicago’s 23-20 loss to Detroit — plus Eberflus’ explanation and the locker room reaction — on Thursday likely sealed Eberflus’ fate.
This is the first time in franchise history that the Bears made an in-season coaching change. But after what happened on Thursday, unprecedented action was warranted.
