The Bears are facing the most momentous hiring decision in their history. Some might argue that they’re facing the most momentous decision, period, in their history. I would argue that that came before the 2017 draft, when they sized up quarterbacks Mitch Trubisky and Patrick Mahomes, and decided Trubisky was a giant-in-waiting. But that’s hindsight, and I don’t want to depress you any more than you already are as you sit in a dark room and gorge on Ho Hos.
The Bears are not off to a great start in their hunt to replace the discarded Matt Eberflus, the first head coach in team annals to be dumped during a season.
