Matt Eberflus became the third NFL coach to be fired this season. Doug Pederson, Antonio Pierce and Brian Daboll are all angling to be the next.
The minute Matt Eberflus failed to use his last time out against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, it was clear that time was about to run out for him. And to no one's surprise, it happened on Black Friday morning in Chicago when the 54-year-old was fired from his post as head coach of the Bears. He becomes the third coach to be fired during this season, joining former New York Jets coach Robert Saleh and former New Orleans Saints coach Dennis Allen on the unemployment line.
Star rookie receiver Malik Nabers went further, calling them 'soft as f—k'. He also questioned Daboll's game plan, which included no passes being thrown his way in the first half. Almost every player who spoke sounded defeated, deflated and completely void of hope. And the few fans who bothered to show up surely felt the same way. Mara, according to multiple sources in the organization, really doesn't want to fire Daboll after cycling through five coaches in the last nine years.
