Bombshell About Matt Eberflus' Future In Chicago

And Breer is the only source that all the other social media accounts use as the lead in for the discussion.  How may news "leaks" ended up being absolute BS were originally based on one person using a single "authoritative" yet unnamed source?

Regardless of what opinion you hold for the replacement if anyone in Bears management or on the coaching staff, you need a much more definitive source before you consider it factual (or even remotely possible).

Just like Poles' draft choices (or FA signings or whatever), we will all need to wait for it all to play out in order to have a reality based perspective on all this.

Unfortunately as fans, the horses are always long gone before we really find out what will happen.  Or actually what just happened as we only find out after the deal is done, decision has been made, whatever.

IMO we are in a situation where there are two (possibly three) players in what is about to come down. The two players in deciding what will happen are the McCaskey family and Kevin Warren.  The possible third player is Poles.  The future of the franchise rests on who is in control and how the decision is made. 

If the family is willing to turn all of this over to Warren, we have a decent chance of becoming a competitive franchise.  If the family wants another iteration of committees and group selection of GMs and coaches and wants to be even moderately involved, we are screwed.  We will be doomed to replaying our history of the last 10+ years until we are all long gone off the face of the earth.

I am going out on a limb and the remainder of this post will assume that George McCaskey hands over the reins to Kevin Warren.

The coaching staff is toast and will be packing their stuff up within 24 hours after the end of the season. There is a very minute chance they'll survive if there is a complete turn around for the remainder of the season. But (again IMO) this is extremely unlikely.

Warren will decide Poles' fate.  I personally feel Poles is a pretty decent GM.  He is a rookie GM and made some mistakes at first, but he has also done some really first rate work (mostly later on).  Again this is my opinion.  Regardless of this, Warren and whoever the GM is will decide on a new HC/OC/DC.  

But nowhere in this process are our opinions on anything material to the real players.  

I'm getting old but if my memory is correct I believe Poles was brutally honest with McCaskey on the need to blow up this team and rebuild from scratch. I know Warren came late to the party but I still believe Poles is safe, not sure Warren can convince McCaskeys otherwise. I do expect Flus to take the fall with rest of staff. JMHO

Im getting a weird vibe (from Warren) that we (he) will fire only Getsy.
