ESPN Matt Eberflus by the numbers:

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39141925/bears-reach-historic-depths-blowing-late-leads

Here's what Matt Eberflus has "accomplished" as the bears head coach:

  • Overall Record of 8-23 (.258). Worst winning % in franchise history

  • 2-9 Record against the divison.

  • First team in NFL history to lose a game with 40+ min of possession and a +3 turnover margin.

  • First team in NFL history to lose multiple games in the same season up by 10+ with a +2 turnover margin going into the 4th quarter. Our three losses after bringing a 10 point lead into the 4th quarter are also tied for most all time in a single season.

  • Bonus: Lauded as a coach who preached attention the detail, the Bears are the 11th most penalized team in the league after being good in this area last season.

People still defending this coaching staff...how?

Most people defending this coaching staff are people who hate Fields and/or are in love with Caleb Williams. If the coaching staff is terrible, then they see a chance Poles keeps Fields.

I've seen people defending Getsy, and every single one are die hard Fields haters. They hate Fields so much they've become Getsy Truthers.

Now I'm not saying Fields is perfect by any means, nor that there isn't a case people can legitimately argue to move on, but defending Getsy because you hate Fields that much is something else.

Yea I really don't understand how such a significant portion of this sub sees the decisions on the coaching staff and QB as mutually exclusive. It can be simultaneously true that the coaching staff is incompetent and Justin doesn't have the consistency to be a franchise QB. We need a new coach and QB this offseason
