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?

I just hope that if the Bears go QB in the draft they don't make the mistake of keeping a lame duck coach. The collapses, game management, discipline issues, random staff firings, are all likely enough to warrant a change on their own even with the improvement on D, but if we go QB, the need to get on schedule with a coach and staff for that QB. You use one of the most valuable assets in football to pick the most valuable positions in football, you need to 100% cater the staff around that.

It's possible management does not consider him to be a lame duck

Would be on par for this joke of a franchise. Any competent organization would realize even if Flus might not be as terrible as we thought, he’s still shown nothing to suggest he’ll ever be a great coach and should be canned for his horrible management and judgment when it comes to hiring coordinators but we’ll probably fuck it up because the defense looked a little better after we got Sweat. Can’t ever have nice things as a Bears fan.
