Chicago Bears Fire Head Coach Matt Eberflus

The Chicago Bears have fired head coach Matt Eberflus following a six-game losing streak, culminating in a loss to the Detroit Lions marked by poor clock management. This marks the first mid-season coaching change in the franchise's 104-year history, a decision praised by many fans who felt it was overdue. General manager Ryan Poles stated the need for a different direction in leadership, emphasizing the importance of delivering better results for their loyal fanbase. Interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown will take over as head coach as the team prepares for their upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers. Eberflus's tenure ended amid significant criticism from players, with safety Jaquan Brisker notably commenting on the firing via social media. The Bears' management hopes this change will revitalize the team and improve their performance moving forward.
