Anyone remember Matt Eberflus’ post-game victory speeches? Not likely.
There weren’t many of them to begin with. New Bears coach Ben Johnson already has won more games at 9-3 than Eberflus did in any of his three seasons on his way to a 14-32 record and a quick firing.
When they did win, though, the speeches were drier than reheated Thanksgiving turkey. Eberflus typically would go back over his pre-game checklist in a manner far less captivating than the boisterous rallies Johnson has been leading.
Eventually all of Eberflus’ messages, good or bad, lost their flavor altogether.
