What was the consensus on the Eberflus hire when it first happened? (alien.top)

I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know who Matt Eberflus was before the Bears hired him. I then saw the notification and didn’t really know what to think, but seeing that we hired a defensive minded guy for (at the time) a QB going into his second season had me confused.

I thought maybe it would work because anything was better than Nagy (at that point lol), but here we are today. I think a lot of fans didn’t like the hire at first and still don’t like it obviously.

Who did the Bears pass up on/who is someone they could’ve had if they didn’t hire Eberflus?

I was underwhelmed, I wasn’t thrilled with the finalists or the process in general of picking finalists before they hired Poles (who I was excited about). I had talked myself into Dan Quinn as a decent option but felt Eberflus was a boring “meh” option. But I did like his CEO mindset and focusing on maximizing player talent (sort of the anti-Nagy). I didn’t think he’d be this bad for sure
