Matt Eberflus Speaks Out On Being Fired By Bears

0

The Chicago Bears made a historic move this week, doing something they hadn’t done in over a century: firing their head coach midseason. Amid a disappointing season, the team parted ways with Matt Eberflus, who had two years remaining on his five-year contract. Following his firing on Monday morning, Eberflus issued a statement addressing the Bears’ decision to let him go.

“I would like to thank the McCaskey family and Ryan Poles for the opportunity to be a head coach for the Chicago Bears.”

Eberflus went on to thank both the players and fans. You can read his full statement below.

History won’t be kind to Matt Eberflus.

Matt Eberflus’s tenure as the head coach of the Chicago Bears is unlikely to be remembered in a good light by most fans. His time with the team was marked by frustrating losses and disappointment. The struggles on the field overshadowed any hope of sustained success, leading to frustration among players, management, and of course the fans.

However, despite his shortcomings as a head coach, Eberflus has shown himself to be a person of high character. His statement demonstrates professionalism, highlighting that while he may not have achieved success as a head coach, he remains a genuinely good person.

All eyes are on Thomas Brown.

Now, the organization has turned the page and officially begun its search for a new head coach. In the interim, Thomas Brown has been selected to take over the head coaching duties. The team will evaluate his performance over the next five games, as they consider their long-term options for the future. The top priority for Brown is likely to ensure that Caleb Williams maintains the offensive success they’ve showcased since the Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron a few weeks ago.

Having earned two promotions in the last three weeks, it’s crucial for Brown to maintain this offensive momentum while also proving he can lead the entire team. As head coach, his responsibilities extend far beyond those of an offensive coordinator. It will be a big test for the 38-year old rising star, who many believe he will get a head coaching gig even if that doesn’t end up being in Chicago.
