I don't think any of that negates nomorezorros points, however. He doesn't have a staff in place. He barely started communicating with the QB two weeks ago (as stated by said QB). You want that franchise QB to now have to talk to someone else they don't know or haven't started a growing relationship with and who will also probably be gone at the end of the year? That's the definition of having too many voices in your QBs ears.
The only thing he has going for himself is that his playbook is not much different than Shane Waldron's. They're both from the same tree. It's why TB was brought in. There won't be much change there. But what Caleb needs more than anything is to be coached up. The issues on offense are not with the playbook.
Let's also pump the brakes on TB. It's two weeks. Let's see what he does for the rest of the season. Heck, if we listened to folks around here last year, Bobby Slowik, who is about to be fired, would've been brought in. The point being is you can have spurts of looking good. You can also have be great at one thing, but bad at another.
In the end, if your priority is Caleb's development, you shouldn't keep playing musical chairs in the coaching room because you just don't like Eberflus. Unless you are hiring a coach today and giving him a 3-4 year deal today, then it makes no sense to fire Eberflus now. You're not saving the season doing it at this point. At best, you're giving yourself a worse pick.
Good point about Slowik. He was the hot guy last offseason, and this year HOU has regressed. To some extent, same thing with Kingsbury in WAS- they haven't trailed off recently, and lost to a terrible DAL team last week.
And speaking of WAS, Daniels also hasn't looked as good lately. Bo Nix is coming up fast on him for OROY. If Caleb continues to play the way he has the past two weeks, he might be in that convo as well.
Eberflus is gone either way might aswell fire him now and see how the team plays under brown it won’t hurt to just see in a lost season what’s the worst can happen at this point
The worst that can happen is that you further hinder your QBs development when you didn't need to, upsetting him and he either busts or succeeds anyway and wants to leave your franchise in 4 years.
The worst that can happen is that Thomas Brown nevers gets another crack at coaching again because he accepted a position setup for him to fail him
The worst that can happen is that the Bears win a few more meangingless games that negatively affect draft position and potential trades.
The only coach who I could see accept such a bad situation would be one that already believes they won't get another crack at that again or one who has been guaranteed the job for the next 3-4 years. Are you willing to guarantee Thomas Brown the job off of 2 games?
Someone else said it too. The Bears win meaningless games down the stretch that serve as a mirage and then come back down to earth next year.
