After Sunday’s disheartening loss to the Denver Broncos, social media was abuzz with calls for Bears Head Coach Matt Eberflus’ head. As I pointed out in a post on X on Monday, it’s easier to scream for a coaching change than it is to actually make one, and the reasons are several.
The most important one is if a General Manager is going to dismiss a Head Coach during the season, he has to have someone in mind to be the interim Head Coach. In the case of the Chicago Bears, that would more than likely be someone on the outside, as there is probably no one on the current staff capable of being an interim Head Coach.
