The pressure is (still) on Bears coach Matt Eberflus
ORLANDO, Fla. — Matt Eberflus looks like a new man.
His hair, masterminded by Bears barber Lawrence Funk, is cropped tight. His beard, long lobbied for by wife Kelly, has grown in nicely — the itchiness went away after about a week of growth. His clothes are more stylish than your average coach, too, the result of input from his wife and two daughters. At the NFL’s annual meeting Tuesday, Eberflus walked into a conference room at 7:45 a.m. wearing a navy woven shirt and white jeans and carrying a Louis Vuitton backpack.
It’s easy to try to compare the coach’s makeover to that of the Bears, who hold the first and ninth picks in next month’s draft. That’s a far cry from two years ago, when Eberflus and general manager Ryan Poles tore the roster down to the studs.
