The Chicago Bears have made the decision to part ways with head coach Matt Eberflus following a disappointing 4-8 start to the season and a disastrous loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. This marks a historic midseason firing for the franchise, as they had never dismissed a coach during the season before. Eberflus faced heavy criticism for his management decisions during games, which included poor clock management and questionable timeout calls. Thomas Brown, a former Rams assistant, has been named the interim head coach. As the Bears look to rebuild, discussions have begun about potential candidates to take over the head coaching position full-time, with names like Ben Johnson and Lincoln Riley emerging as strong contenders.
