Fire Eberflus, Please

[Stak78]

Normally, I’d be all for letting a first year coordinator take his lumps and give him time to right the ship. This isn’t a normal situation. ALL the defensive players have looked awful. They can’t all be awful. ALL of them have looked lost and continue to look lost. The defensive coaching did not and continue to not properly prepare the players. I’ve researched and read what the Bears fans thought of Eberflus. He needs to go. Let Schotty pick his defensive coaching staff. Ultimately, the success or failure of this team will fall on his shoulders. Let him pick his coaches.

jerry says there is nobody he'd rather be in a foxhole with than eberflus. So maybe we're just missing something

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

My point was that these clowns wouldn't be on another roster.

100% agree. maybe just 2 of them

Bland. Clark. That's it. Osa would be a bench guy.

 

[IndieCowboy]

I recommend punt formation 10 man overwhelming blitz on every play. How much worse could it be?
Leave 1 guy back to fight the WRs for the inevitable dead duck pass. Lol

Its pretty bad these days, Indie.

This scheme will not work without a complete overhaul. It's the wrong scheme.

Your players aren't suited for it. You don't have any above average pass rushers outside of Ezeiruaku, which makes it difficult on the banged up secondary who can't cover in the first place.

With all the injuries there, any decent coordinator would draw up blitzes and mix up the coverage.

Yet tweedle dum just keeps running the same scheme rushing 4 guys who can't rush the passer and putting pressure on a secondary that cannot cover, especially in zone.

Do the deed, Jerry.

Or you're a stubborn, old fool.

The time was 6 weeks ago.

We don't have any players.

Quit playing the scapegoat game.

Firing Eberflub does nothing unless 2 things follow.

1. Schotty as head coach should hire who he wants.
2. The guy Shotty hires better not be from the same stupid defensive tree as the monty kiffen, marinelli, everflub tree who likes small guys who can't tackle. These are all guys jerry has hired often before he hires the HC.

3. We have a major influx of talent on D.

 

[MonsterD]

It's amazing they haven't fired him, he is the absolute worst in the NFL, and he was a terrible HC too. There isn't any reason not to, except that Jerry hates paying people who don't do any work, so he rather him still work and they continue to lose or be awful.

It seems adding Uberfluke has been a net loss. Like he makes players worse.

This is right. Bears fans are laughing at us.

People say we don't have players. Yeah, because this coach doesn't know how to maximize his players' talent because he refuses to adjust his scheme-centric approach.

We don't know anything about these players' strengths because NeverAdjusts is too busy fitting square pegs into round holes.

And, yes, this isn't his first stop of utter stupidity. He did the same crap in Chicago...head up his rear and the whole 9 yards. The guy is a dunce and fraud if I've ever seen one. Not sure why some are defending him..

I don't get it.

Kinda makes me reconsider my life choices. Like, there are things I didn't pursue because I didn't think I was talented or skilled enough. I think the old adage, "It's not who you are; it's who you know" applies even more often than we think.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Say they do fire him. What then?

Well, you have only 2 choices:
1. Promote one of the other defensive coaches to DC.
2. Hire someone from outside the organization to be DC.

In the first case, if those coaches were DC-caliber, they'd not be on this team, with Jerry running the show. So not likely they'd turn the defense around to any great degree. Making the defense a bit better isn't going to get this team to the SB.

In the second, so a new coach is going to come in and the defense is magically going to improve a lot? With this roster? You don't have a bonafide top pass rusher, one of your starting CBs is out for at least 3 more games, the DTs are mediocre, your best slot corner you let get away, your safeties are average at best.

Pointless to fire him at this point, best to work at improving the roster first, then see if he can do well.

After all, have you looked at the playoff standings currently? Cowboys occupy the 11th spot. With the resurgence of Seattle, etc. it's probably already past the point where this team will make the playoffs, and even if by some miracle they did, ain't winning it all, you're just dropping down in the draft, with the problems I noted above, you need all the high draft picks you can get...

I'm not defending him. However, our players are worse than he is.

 

[Stak78]

Murray, Elam, Mazi, Sanborn and Sam Williams are terrible. The rest are good to decent and are all not playing to their potential. Eberflus has not elevated anyone or anything. Total waste of time and money. He should be managing a Dick’s Sporting Goods store this time next year.

Dude they're ranked 25th in total defense I don't see how you can say they can laugh at us sure they can improve more but as bad as we are these numbers below are not worthy of Any compliments at all...

I know they have a slightly better defense than they did in the past but did you watch that game last night did a Joe Flacco just light them up 42 points that's what they gave up their offense had to outscore Their own defense in order to make sure they won the game..


bears 8 games of defense

.27, 52, 14,24, 24,14,30, 42

It doesn't look bad it doesn't but but when they give up 52 points and then the recent game last night how do you give up 42 points to Joe Flacco nearly put up over 500 yards of offense and 42 points I didn't look on the ground would they give up on the ground Yes they have a better defense than us but they had a couple clunkers...

I really like to make sure we have real info and context before we use our emotions because yes our defense sucks it really does but their defense has not come that far where they can be laughing at us Here's the rankings I miss your last night's in this but we'll just go with this.


.
The Chicago Bears defense ranks 25th in total yards allowed (350.7 per game) as of late October 2025, according to FOX Sports. However, the defense performs better in other areas, ranking 7th in turnover margin and 1st in turnover rate over the last six weeks, says TeamRankings.com and NBC Sports. Conversely, the run defense has been a significant weakness, ranking 31st in rushing yards allowed per game and dead last in yards per carry allowed, note Sports Illustrated and Sports Illustrated.

• Total Defense: 25th in the league, allowing an average of 350.7 yards per game.
• Run Defense: Struggles significantly, ranking 31st in rushing yards allowed per game and last in yards allowed per carry.
• Turnovers: Performs much better in this category, ranking 7th in the league in turnover margin and 1st in turnover rate over the last six weeks.
• Sacks: Ranks 29th in sacks per game.

After watching the game last night, I've become extremely jealous of Seattle's defense. Especially, their defensive line. That front can straight ball. Leonard Williams would have looked fantastic with a star on his helmet. Unfortunately, he was way to expensive for the natural gas industry to afford. Sorry to derail the thread. Having Eberflus as a d-coordinator has turned me into a jealous fan.

It does have more to do with the coordinator not just the players .. Have you noticed the Ravens defense looks like trash they had good players they had a lot of good players remember but it's kind of odd that Mike Mcdonald leaves and they can't find their way ever since he left their defense has been on a steady decline why would that be because you would think that the leftover staff the GM they'd still be able to provide a similar scheme in players.

Leonard Williams got stolen from somewhere else last I checked I can't remember but it's more so to do with the head coach being the ex defensive coordinator for the Ravens and their defenses were always good so yeah sometimes you get lucky that way.... Now their DC used to be our staff at one time but that doesn't help does it I mean it is what it is.. But it's Mcdonald that has this running smoothly Kind of crazy right they got rid of all those offensive players as well i'm thinking man what are they doing apparently they knew what they were doing...

Geno Smith doesn't look near as good with the Raiders...

 

[stilltheguru]

If Jerry was football smart he'd hire a young guy with some smarts like navarro bowman coaching with the chargers but I'm sure he'll sign some old loser who never saw greatness before (like eberflus).

@WillieBeamen I bet he'd get these soft players to actually tackle and fill a gap.
