The Chicago Bears have a new head coach in place in the form of former Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. While the Bears have yet to conduct the introductory press conference for both Eberflus and general manager Ryan Poles, the belief is that it will occur early next week. The reason for the delay is that Eberflus is spending this weekend interviewing coordinators for his offensive staff.
When the news of Eberflus becoming the new head coach of the Bears initially broke, it was met with instant criticism as the Bears did not hire an offensive-minded head coach to pair with second-year quarterback Justin Fields. The idea that the Bears need an offensive-minded head coach to pair with Fields is flawed logic.
