Is Matt Eberflus Right Choice To Be Next Bears HC? | The Draft Network

A front-runner appears to be emerging from the Chicago Bears’ wide-reaching coaching search. Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus is the first of the many coaching candidates who’ve advanced to a second interview.

Eberflus’ coaching career kicked off as a defensive assistant at Missouri in 2001, where he ultimately became defensive coordinator and remained on staff through 2008. He earned his first NFL gig in 2009 with the Cleveland Browns as the team’s linebackers coach, where he remained until 2010. He held the same position with the Dallas Cowboys through the 2015 season before being promoted to the Defensive Passing Game Coordinator for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

Eberflus’ advancement to Round 2 of the Bears coaching search is a curious development despite his record of success. He is a defensive mind after all, and the expectation after Matt Nagy was fired has been that Chicago will hire the right coach to groom and develop Justin Fields.

The Bears may have some competition or Eberflus, if he is, in fact, their first choice. The Jacksonville Jaguars want him in Duval for a second interview too. Clearly, he’s in demand.
