The buzz around Matt Eberflus is impossible to ignore at this point. After another 4th quarter collapse, his third in two months, it\u2019s getting harder and harder to defend him. Head coaches typically get three years to prove they can hack it in the NFL. However, this is a unique case for the Chicago Bears. Eberflus hasn\u2019t shown much as a head coach outside his prowess as a defensive playcaller. His situational decision-making and horrible knack to play conservatively with leads are a big reason the Bears are 5-9 instead of 7-7 or 8-6.<\/p>\n

This is why rumors persist that team president Kevin Warren, who had no say in hiring him, might be looking at a change. He wants to bring in some of his own people. The obvious question is whether that includes a head coach. Insiders have hinted at it, but none have fully committed yet. Part of that is because the Eberflus evaluation isn\u2019t over yet. Another part is waiting to see how the pool of potential coaching candidates unfolds. A source told SM Warren wants to see if a potential big fish becomes available.<\/p>\n
One particular name has had his attention lately.<\/p>\n
