What was the consensus on the Eberflus hire when it first happened? (alien.top)

I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know who Matt Eberflus was before the Bears hired him. I then saw the notification and didn’t really know what to think, but seeing that we hired a defensive minded guy for (at the time) a QB going into his second season had me confused.

I thought maybe it would work because anything was better than Nagy (at that point lol), but here we are today. I think a lot of fans didn’t like the hire at first and still don’t like it obviously.

Who did the Bears pass up on/who is someone they could’ve had if they didn’t hire Eberflus?

It was a meh hire. I personally hated it but it seemed like the Pace/Fox pairing (although Fox was far more accomplished).

I’m not really sure why people were happy it was him versus Caldwell or Quinn. Both have had more success than Eberflus and I would’ve trusted Caldwell far more with Fields.
