Analysis: From defensive scheme to the development of Caleb Williams, the departure of Matt Eberflus impacts the Bears' future in numerous ways.
Not to defend Matt Eberflus or pine for his return in a manner like so many unrealistic Justin Fields/Bears fans on social media, but there can be issues with the path the Bears have chosen through coaching change.The Bears have committed to coaching change for next season by the firing of Eberflus.
What follows now invariably is starting in a hole next year. It doesn't have to be the way it was in 2022 when they rebuilt, though. But he's not the only one. Dan Quinn stepped in and immediately made an impact with rookie QB Jayden Daniels in Washington, although they've backtracked a bit. Bears fans when Ryan Poles’ 3 year rebuild plan takes 3 years and isn’t fixed on the first day of free agencyThe biggest issue leading to setback is one Eberflus always spoke about and that's time on task. If they can find ways to circumvent this obstacle with good coaching and a higher talent level, they can compete immediately.
Safeties coach Andre Curtis is another of these, although safety is a position with greater skill variance according to scheme. So if their new defensive coordinator plans something similar to what they're using now, then Curtis could be another one. If they're playing a lot of safety in the box and blitzing every other play, then not so much.Keeping the better ones in place improves chances for the rapid climb.
First Mitchell Trubisky and then the John Fox/Dowell Loggains firings. Then Justin Fields and Matt Nagy was fired. Finally, Caleb Williams and now Matt Eberflus is fired.This type of thing can slow a quarterback's growth greatly because they aren't as comfortable in a new offense when they start their second year, just like they weren't as rookies when they started out in a new offense coming out of college.Here's a different take on it.
