Bears fire Matt Eberflus after catastrophic clock management vs Lions

[NoMayo15]

What a stupid firing. Might as well let him finish out the season and fire him after. They not making the playoffs anyway. The didn't do shyt basically as they aren't gaining anything for doing this. Clearly not gonna hire the interim coach.

The craziest thing are the people online defending yesterday's decision not to use the timeout, and people today saying the firing is a bad idea. You have got to be idiotic to believe either of those things.

You don't call the timeout, you risk losing precious time that you need while your players are scrambling to get back and lined up.

You don't fire this coach after that catestrophic blunder, you risk your fans turning on the whole franchise.

At some point, you have to cut your losses.

Great decision. Moments like that separate bums from elite coaches.

Bears should be 8-4 at worst.

 

[jerniebert]

fukk Eberflus. Worst coach in the history of the league.

Nah, the last thing Bears fans would want to happen is for him to go into job-saving mode, finish with 7-9 wins and sell that to management that the team is headed in the "right direction" with him in charge , return next year, and the same thing happens AGAIN. @Brozay @Deafheaven @GoldenGlove @beenz @BBG @jerniebert

fukk that, bush him, and keep it pushin.

Just like it had to be done here in N.O. with Stinky @King Poetic

One of the worst to ever do it.

when you have a player tweeting that out after the firing, I think it says everything we needed to know

if he lost the locker room, he has to go

 

[GoldenGlove]

Media got him fired today. He would have made it to the end of the season. Whats the point today? Still gotta pay him. GM should be next honestly

The Bears tend to flame out horribly on the National stage. This was a necessary evil, you're right tho, the media ridicule was the nail in the coffin.

Which is sad, because after they scored 3 points against the Patriots and got blown out at hone, should have been the final straw. But since it wasn't a primetime matchup, he survived

I wonder how attractive the job is

 

[GoldenGlove]

Very.

Of all the potential franchises that will be looking for a coach, how many have a better roster than Chicago? The Bears are an offensive line and a competent coaching staff away from being in the mix. They're already in 1 score games with a rookie QB being lead by one of, if not the worst situational coach in NFL history

Have you looked at their remaining schedule? It's brutal and they got like 8 losses. If they didn't fire him when it meant something just let him finish out the season. They aren't going to hire someone else right now and with Caleb they'll swing big on a coach and not default to the interim.

Firing him with 5 games left in the regular season is classless. It was obvious he should have been fired well before then but they held on. The sort of incompetence people running the team doing stuff like this will continue to fail at running the team.

 

[The_Sheff]

I’m surprised the Bears even gave him a chance to ruin another qb.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

lmao yeah that mistake yesterday was the last straw

Yeah when I saw that shyt I was like that HC bout to get bushed early lmaoo

[keon]

Bill Belichick. Let’s fukkin go!!!

 

[jerniebert]

I'm glad this happened in a highly watched game so they had no choice but to fire him. The media all seen his incompetence live against the best team in the league. There was no hiding from the criticism and hoping it went away.
