Chicago Bears

I'll set myself on fire if we have this staff next year

If he's the defensive coordinator? Maybe. The defense has looked good the past couple of games. But, please, for the love of everything holy, get an offensive minded coach.

Do I think they might try it? Maybe

Do I think they should try it? Not a chance in hell.

Hard nope

I would become comfortably numb to the existence of the Chicago Bears

1. 2 or preferably 3 more wins is non-negotiable.
2. Getsy has to be gone.
3. Eberflus needs to convince the team brass that he is going to get the offensive coordinator hire right this time.

This is the only world in which I can imagine being OK with Eberflus staying. I can't imagine he'd pull off #3 well, but if he somehow had some great plan then maybe.

But even then I think Eberflus might have to go because you're ideally making at least a 2-year commitment to him with your new QB, and are you really ever comfortable doing that?

No

I'm convinced he's served his purpose. Got paid, can go back to being a DC elsewhere and helped us repurpose this team with draft picks. I think we stick with Justin this next year with a similar system but not with Getsy (hopefully Jesus christ) lots of young talent and a new coaching staff to develop them while hopefully being a contender next year. I feel like this was poles idea. Kind of like before with John fox. Scrap team, build youth and culture, but focus on draft picks and not washed up scrubs elsewhere and hope you can fix them. Develop these dudes and get the benefits of them leaving because we can potentially draft better players instead.

Yes, unless we can get Frank Reich, he hinted he's done coaching. He was scapegoated in Carolina and I want to see what he could do with Fields.

Idk why we're shitting on Getsy. We need to start a media campaign to prop him up so he leaves for a HC position and we get a 3rd round comp pick.

Flus wins the next 5 games making the playoffs as a wildcard and the defense consistently performs as a top 10 unit as players continue to develop. You could sell me on that, finishing 9-8, firing getsy and hiring a Bienemy type as OC given the Poles connection from KC. It won't happen, but I'd understand keeping Flus at that point at least

I personally don't see a way he's coming back if this franchise is serious about winning a championship

Last time the bears ran it back with Nagy an extra year and then drafted a QB with fields

Does history repeat?

I don't think his coaching is good enough, I think the fact that he won 1 game in the NFC North in 2 years is not a fluke.

Yes the defense is improving but offense isn't good.

The defense still needs a 3 tech.

We haven't beaten any amazing QBs.

Eberflus imo can't stay. A sacrifice of getsy just makes the OC turnover increase which is bad for fields and next QB.

Hell no.

If Fields is the QB then Getsy has to go. I’m ok with Eber staying.

A lot can happen in just a few weeks, right now I’m 50/50.

The idea of starting back up with another new staff is just awful. There is so little to be gained by burning it all down, but also sometimes you gotta burn the field.

No. But I wouldn’t mind running it back with DC Matt Eberflus

no. too many coaching failures and also no upside. not good enough for the highest level of football. he has some good things about him - people calling him an idiot need to pipe down - but he isnt gonna win an NFL HC level chess match anytime soon

I would rather hit my nuts with a hammer

Absolutely not

Nope, not in a million years

No, unless we end the season 9-8

If he manages to run the table and beat every team by multiple scores and also wins the super bowl since we aren’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs

Realistic scenario? No

Hahahahaha.

No.

I don't think we should do it, but I could probably live with it. At least you can say that the defense has been massively improved under his leadership. But I still think it's unacceptable that we came in for the first three games looking like we might make a run at worst NFL team in decades, and obviously there's a lot to be said for what pairing up a fresh offensive-minded HC with a QB at #1 could potentially do for the organization, and with the offense still sputtering, it just seems like we need to take that chance.

12 men in the huddle Monday night. No. I wouldn't be comfortable with an inexperienced HC coming back after taking us on the longest losing streak in my life.

No he should not be the HC next year. HE should not be the coach today if we are being truthful.

But, it sure feels like he will be the HC of the Bears for the 2024 season. Hell, Poles just traded a top 40 pick to get his boy an edge.

This front office and ownership will believe in fools gold. The defense is improving just look at how great they played against the Vikings and their backup without their best player. Or look how great they where against the unstoppable Panthers.

No but he will be back
