In typical Bears’ style, they went the quiet, restrained route when they rebooted their coaching staff in January rather than chase the flashiest candidate.
They didn’t go for the coveted upstarts Yale-educated Mike McDaniel or Belichick-groomed Josh McDaniels, and they didn’t make offers to Super Bowl winners Doug Pederson and Dan Quinn.
Instead, they chose Matt Eberflus. Hardly a household name, but sensible, experienced, organized, calm. No splash, just substance. He’s the coaching equivalent of a pair of khakis.
