I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know who Matt Eberflus was before the Bears hired him. I then saw the notification and didn’t really know what to think, but seeing that we hired a defensive minded guy for (at the time) a QB going into his second season had me confused.
I thought maybe it would work because anything was better than Nagy (at that point lol), but here we are today. I think a lot of fans didn’t like the hire at first and still don’t like it obviously.
Who did the Bears pass up on/who is someone they could’ve had if they didn’t hire Eberflus?
Just on the offensive side of the ball they passed on Daboll (jury still out on this, but they did win a playoff game with Daniel Jones in Y1), Mike McDaniel (they didn’t even want to interview him LOL), Eric Bienemy (understandable because replacing Nagy), and Doug Pederson.
All of which would have been a better choice than Eberflus with a 2nd year QB. Although I’m not sure Quinn or Caldwell would have been any better and it seems those were the other realistic choices we were considering. The McCaskey family is so so lost.
