Lessons or liabilities? Bears must assess where Matt Eberflus would lead them

Ryan Poles (right) has yet to make it clear if Eberflus (left) is returning or being fired.

The Bears’ pattern of changing coaches so often isn’t getting them anywhere, and that’s been one of the arguments in favor of them keeping Matt Eberflus rather than firing him and rebooting yet again. If the Bears move on to a new head coach, he’d be their fifth since firing Lovie Smith at the end of the 2012 season.

But continuity simply for the sake of continuity is pointless. Does anyone think they should’ve stuck with Marc Trestman, John Fox or Matt Nagy in the hope that keeping everything the same would eventually produce different results?
