Justin Fields has improved - but enough?

Regarding the staff, it may simply mean that they needed to be replaced.  A young 1st time HC has a learning curve.  Now, with two years experience he has a better understanding of what is needed and the network now to better identify and hire better people.  Regarding Poles truly believing in Eberflus let's see what happens.  I keep remembering the Browns thought their first-time head coach, Bill Belichick was a bust and fired him.  And it ended up he was a good head coach.  There is a learning curve associated with hiring first time GMs or HCs.  If a franchise is not able to endure the pain associated with that then they should stick to hiring guys with experience.  Eberflus could still be a good coach.  In his defense, in these two seasons he was tasked with a first season of riding out a tanking year with a roster that was emptied.  This season he had 30 new/young players.  

The Bears could reload with much better coordinators now.  If Fields does benefit from the new coaches and the added talent from this draft, then the team is right on track for a 2025 SB ready year.  I am not saying that "will" happen but that I could see it happening if the team gets the coordinators the team needs - and of course does well in the draft and FA.

Will it happen? I don't know.  But I am going to hope for the best here.

  

Regardless of Getsy's suckitude, they just fired all of Flus' chosen subordinates, dude.  OC, DC, and a bunch of position coaches all gone now.

Who the hell cleans house in a department but keeps the department head who hired them all?

Come on, man, this is not standard best practice in any serious organization.

But yeah Poles OWNS THE RESULTS 100%.  If/when this blows up, it completely on him.

No one has any answers to your question because no one here supports the decision. 3 direct meltdowns on DEF leading to three losses. 2 games the DEF was utterly unprepared for (both GB games). That's 5 losses I directly pin on Flus. He should have been fired the day after the Cleveland loss.

Unless the players 100% all came down on keep Flus or else, I don't understand what just happened.

I can take an educated guess. As the season goes forward these guys develop deep relationships. I believe that Poles decision was not 100% objective. I think he let the relationship color his decision. But of course, I have no way of knowing. Just a guess because the decision does not seem to be the best decision for the Bears.
