Bears fans across Chicago rejoiced after head coach Matt Eberflus was fired Friday morning.

“I’m one happy MF’er right now,” said Christopher Bartolini, 57. “Hopefully, it’s a new beginning.”

“Hopefully, somebody woke up, and they’re willing to make some changes,” Bartolini said. “It’s a great message to send, they finally pulled the trigger.”

Eberflus’ firing came one day after a 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field during which the coach failed to call a timeout as the clock expired and the Bears had the ball.
