Chicago Bears Fire Head Coach Matt Eberflus

The Chicago Bears have fired head coach Matt Eberflus following a disappointing season, marked by a loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day and a record of 4-8. Eberflus' tenure, which included a 14-32 overall record, has been characterized by poor game management decisions, particularly in critical moments. General Manager Ryan Poles cited the need for a change in leadership, emphasizing the Bears' decline after an initial 4-2 start. Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown has been appointed as interim head coach. The Bears had high hopes for their offense after drafting quarterback Caleb Williams first overall and acquiring star receiver Keenan Allen, but they have struggled to produce wins. The team now seeks a new head coach capable of maximizing Williams' potential and turning their fortunes around.
