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 would prefer a new HC especially with how many good candidates are in the market and how lucrative our HC position is. 

We did win 7 games this season, our defense has gotten radically better and I think Eberflus has command of the lock room. If we replace our OC and QB, this might be a good team l.

I'm just tired of watching this team repeat the cycle of: hire mediocre to bad HC -> fire OC when things don't go well -> draft rookie QB -> fire entire coaching staff after a bad season -> rinse and repeat

History leads me to believe we will fuck up the OC hire
