Bears move on from coach Matt Eberflus after horrendous last-second loss to Lions

Before this season, the Chicago Bears had never fired a coach during a season, a fact they were proud of.

They've also never experienced some of the late-game coaching fiascos they've had this season, especially what happened on Thanksgiving with everyone watching.

Eberflus will take a final timeout from the Detroit Lions loss into his next job. A final-minute debacle, in which the Bears let about 25 seconds run off the clock instead of calling a timeout in a 23-20 loss to the Lions, was the end of the Bears' patience. Eberflus met the media Friday morning and was fired shortly after.
