Bears general manager Ryan Poles said Wednesday he remains confident that Matt Eberflus is the right coach for the team despite mounting losses and off-field concerns.

“I get the question [about Eberflus’ status], but what I see every day and see his approach through adversity, it is stable,” Poles said. “I know in the outside world it doesn’t look like that and I know it looks like we’re far away, but this dude comes in every day and just keeps chipping away.
