Bears surprisingly expected to keep Matt Eberflus as head coach

Surprisingly enough, the Bears are reportedly expected to keep Matt Eberflus as head coach.

It’s been a roller coaster of a season for the Chicago Bears but they’ve looked good in recent weeks. Despite that, many football fans believe that Matt Eberflus’ time as head coach should be coming to an end in the offseason. However, it sounds like the franchise has a different plan in store for Eberflus.With head coaching rumors running rampant around the league, the Bears are now expected to keep Eberflus as head coach next season, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Or perhaps the front office truly believes Eberflus is the guy to lead Chicago long-term. Either way, it’s a bit surprising to see a report like this considering the consensus opinion about the second-year head coach.

Heading into Week 17, Eberflus’ career record as the Bears head coach is just 9-23. Not an ideal record whatsoever. Additionally, the team has looked rather sloppy, for the most part. Albeit, the Bears are technically in the playoff race, even though they’re a complete long shot.
