Bears Rumors: HC Matt Eberflus to Return After Hot-Seat Buzz During 2023 NFL Season

Matt Eberflus' first head-coaching tenure in the NFL will last more than two seasons.

The Chicago Bears decided to retain Eberflus heading into the 2024 campaign despite plenty of speculation throughout the 2023 season about whether he would be fired.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Eberflus is expected to return after "extensive meetings" with Bears management on Monday and Tuesday.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Eberflus will likely hire a proper defensive coordinator even though he's likely retain defensive play-calling duties, and they are replacing offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
