League insider Ian Rapoport shared this development during Saturday's GameDay Kickoff. Eberflus, who previously served as the defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts and joined the Bears in 2022, oversaw a disappointing 3-14 season. This disappointing performance occurred despite Justin Fields having a breakout sophomore season, particularly in rushing.
Based on the reactions seen on social media, fans are worried that Eberflus might negatively impact any quarterback under his guidance, as one Twitter user expressed: "HELL NO! Now we can ruin Caleb Williams/Justin Fields even more. Such bulls**t."
Here are some of the notable reactions on social media:
