The atmosphere surrounding Bears head coach Matt Eberflus has shifted

After a rough start, many didn’t think Matt Eberflus would return as the Chicago Bears head coach in 2024. In his first two seasons, the team struggled to win, and Eberflus faced criticism for his lack of success. However, the roster was in bad shape, which contributed to their struggles.

Eberflus also had issues with the media, leading some to question his leadership abilities. Despite a strong end to the 2023 season, his job security was uncertain with a talented pool of coaching free agents available. Nonetheless, the Bears stood by Eberflus and did not pursue a big-name replacement.

In recent months, Eberflus has undergone a transformation both in appearance and coaching style. There is a new energy surrounding him, and general manager Ryan Poles has shown his support for Eberflus. Poles believes in Eberflus and is committed to winning with him.

While Poles’ backing is reassuring, Eberflus still faces pressure to deliver results in the upcoming season. With a rookie quarterback, Caleb Williams, joining the team, the Bears have the potential to win games. However, if they stumble out of the gate, Eberflus’ job security may once again be in question.

Everyone is rooting for Eberflus to succeed, including players, coaches, fans, and the media. With a revamped coaching style and a promising roster, Eberflus deserves the opportunity to lead the Bears to victory in 2024.
