Eberflus is the first head coach the Bears have ever fired in the middle of a season.
For the first time in their 105-year history, the Chicago Bears have fired their head coach in the middle of the season. They've let go of Matt Eberflus, a decision that seemed inevitable after disastrous clock management played a key role in the Bears' sixth consecutive loss on Thursday.against the Lions in front of a national audience on Thanksgiving. It was Chicago's third consecutive devastating defeat against an NFC North opponent and its sixth one-score loss this season.
Strangely, the Bears allowed Eberflus to hold a normal press conference on Friday morning, then fired him just a couple hours later. Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, who replaced fired OC Shane Waldron a couple weeks ago, takes over as the Bears' interim head coach.
