Bears move on from coach Matt Eberflus

[TequilaCowboy]

Bears job has Ben Johnson written all over it.

Exactly what I thought immediately.. can do something with Williams and the offense.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Get you a Chicago Dog while there.

That and a deep dish from Giordano's. I love going there. Right by the convention I like to go to

It couldn't have just been the HC. Every other coach had to be aware of what was happening. Amids the confusion why didn't at least one coach yell to the QB to call timeout?

Normally, I'm sure that would be a breach of protocol, but someone should have possessed the awareness to stop the clock.

I realize that their QB is a rookie, but he should have taken matters into his own hand. What would the coaches do anyway, cut the #1 overall pick in the draft for disciplinary reasons? QB's used to call their own plays right up to the early 70's.

I'm sure he didn't lose his job for that situation alone. When your fans are expecting a good season and then have a chance for a win in the midst of a disappointing year, this mistake must have felt unbearable.

However, it was the culmination of those recent disappointments that added fuel to the fire.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Sucks for him that he's not the Cowboys head coach.

Yet.

SMH.

Stop posting such embarrassing takes.

 

[csirl]

He'll replace Zimmer as DC next season. We like our guys.

 

[Sarge]

We need to hire Eberflus ASAP for clock management.

I was dumbfounded watching that unfold. Absolutely, Eberflus was ultimately responsible, but I doubt he expected Williams to waste all the time he did. Yes, he’s a rookie, but he’s certainly been playing QB for a number of years at other levels.

yeah the players and esp williams are at fault too.
If fans know what to do in that situation, they should too ! It isnt rocket science!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They need to dump everyone and start over.

 

[DandyDon52]

how about the raiders fire their HC too, it was another fiasco in that game.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Meet your new DC under HC Kellen Moore

Eberflus as a DC could actually be good. He a very good run in Indy

Also, if I'm reeeaaallly feeling fancy, the hotel next to where I stay has Gibsons Bar and Steakhouse. It's a great steak, and, for their happy hour, they have an incredible steak sandwich.

I think the refs screwed the Raiders there. I think I heard a whistle right before the snap, and the guard moves before the snap. That should have been a dead ball. I think that was why the center snapped it when he did too and was so irate afterwards. I think he heard the whistle too and was doing one of those snaps they do when the hear a whistle.

 

[Typhus]

Down 23-20 in lions territory with 36 seconds left and 1 timeout they only got off 1 play and he refused to take a timeout when he saw the offense unorganized

It was some serious deplorable time management.

 

[atlantacowboy]

The end of the Bears- Lions was some of the worst coaching I’ve ever seen. Then Ellberflus has the nerve to get up on the post game podium and make the absurd claim that the final 30 seconds were managed correctly. That’s when he lost the job, imo. Granted he was on his way to getting canned anyway but that presser was not what you want to see in a head coach.

Bears move on from coach Matt Eberflus!​

Before this season, the Chicago Bears had never fired a coach during a season, a fact they were proud of.

They've also never experienced some of the late-game coaching fiascos they've had this season, especially what happened on Thanksgiving with everyone watching.

Eberflus will take a final timeout from the Detroit Lions loss into his next job. A final-minute debacle, in which the Bears let about 25 seconds run off the clock instead of calling a timeout in a 23-20 loss to the Lions, was the end of the Bears' patience. Eberflus met the media Friday morning and was fired shortly after, per multiple reports. It's the first time the Bears have fired a head coach during a season.

they don't care about coaches dead money. Jerry jones does.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking that it was a dead ball foul and the play should’ve resulted in a loss of 5 yards regardless of anything else

Not sure how the chiefs were able to decline that and get the ball back on a fumble that should’ve never counted

Or maybe I’m missing something

Exactly, I thought it should have been a dead ball, move the ball back. Clearly, the center did too. That'd explain why he snapped it when he did if he heard a whistle. It'd also explain why he was yelling at the ref.

that is possible, and I never heard of a snap being a backward pass.
it was a mess though.
They had a fg if they dont screw it up.
Thats where you have to be good enough to not let refs decide it for you.

Well, fur sure, but how many times do you see the center snap it or the QB dirt the ball at the sound of the whistle for a dead ball foul?

bad news on that is it increases the search for yet one more NFL team needing a new qualified HC ....just like us the Dallas Cowboys

the new HC for Bears will have a young, talented upcoming QB to work and build around ..while we have to convinced the hottest HC candidates
that we have a MVP league candidate in Dak Prescott ..Lamb, Parsons, Tyler, Ferguson Diggs, Bland, Overshown and being a part of " America's Team " .
