Four compelling reasons why the Chicago Bears are unlikely to terminate Matt Eberflus.
Under Matt Eberflus' leadership, the Chicago Bears have been mired in a consistent pattern of losing. In the 28 games he has helmed the team, they have managed to secure just six victories. Even more disheartening is their recent trend of relinquishing double-digit leads in the fourth quarter, resulting in two losses this season alone.
Last Sunday's defeat against the Lions was particularly devastating, as Eberflus' defense allowed the opposition to score 15 crucial points in the game's final four minutes. Given this consistent losing streak and the disheartening manner in which it has unfolded, many argue that Eberflus should be shown the door. It's worth noting that the McCaskey family, who owns the Chicago Bears, previously made a surprising decision to retain former general manager Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy, despite a six-game losing streak, simply because they managed a three-game win streak to sneak into the playoffs.
The wildcard in this equation is the new team president, Kevin Warren. Perhaps the Bears' abysmal 0-9 record in division games, their inability to conquer any team with a winning record, their struggles against teams with established starting quarterbacks, and the 18 games where opponents have scored more than 25 points will provide sufficient grounds for Warren to part ways with Eberflus. However, George McCaskey, who remains Warren's superior, and General Manager Ryan Poles have consistently expressed support for Eberflus.
In the best interest of the franchise, terminating Eberflus at the conclusion of the season seems like a prudent move. The Bears have a history of being exceedingly loyal, even to their detriment, and this loyalty may pave the way for Eberflus to return for another season, despite it possibly being an erroneous decision. Given historical precedence and these four compelling reasons, it wouldn't be entirely surprising to witness Eberflus return for another season at the helm.
