Chicago Bears Fire Matt Eberflus as Head Coach After Continued Struggles

The team faces criticism for organizational dysfunction as it begins a search for a new coach to support rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

Matt Eberflus was dismissed as head coach following a 14-32 record and mounting player frustrations over his leadership and game management.
Interim head coach Thomas Brown, who recently improved Caleb Williams' passer rating, will continue as offensive play-caller for the rookie quarterback.
General Manager Ryan Poles and President Kevin Warren will lead the search for a new head coach, with candidates like Ben Johnson, Kliff Kingsbury, and Joe Brady reportedly being considered.
The Bears' handling of Eberflus' firing, including a poorly timed press conference, has drawn criticism for reflecting ongoing organizational dysfunction.
The team's leadership faces pressure to stabilize the franchise and avoid repeating past mistakes that have hindered the development of young quarterbacks.
