The Chicago Bears emerged from the Thanksgiving long weekend without a permanent head coach following Matt Eberflus' firing on Friday. On Monday, the team's leadership faced the media armed with explanations, promises, and a few coaching changes for good measure.
The main explanation the Bears offered on Monday afternoon was about the confusing few hours before Eberflus' firing on Friday. The morning after the Bears' 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, during which Eberflus' poor decision-making and play-calling demonstrably harmed the team yet again, Eberflus met with the media.
It was an awkward presser, made even more awkward a few hours later when the Bears fired Eberflus, axing a head coach during the season for the first time in franchise history.
