Congratulations: Chicago Bears Has Now Crowned Thomas Brown And appointed as The new Coach Of Chicago Bears…See More….
It is unclear whether the Bears will use a search firm to assist in the next hire. The process will be led by general manager Ryan Poles and team president Kevin Warren in what will be their first head-coach hire in Chicago.
Sources also reiterated that Poles is expected to remain the Bears GM into the 2025 season.
The Bears believe they will have the most attractive job in this coaching cycle.
The team has its franchise quarterback in Caleb Williams, a host of offensive talent, more than $80 million in expected salary cap space for next year, the history of the franchise, the allure of the city of Chicago and a new stadium project that’s on the way.
The Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus on Friday, choosing to go in a “different direction” one day after a 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions that ended with the Bears’ furious comeback attempt falling short thanks to clock mismanagement.
“This morning, after meeting with [chairman George H.
McCaskey] and [president and CEO Kevin Warren], we informed Matt of our decision to move in a different direction with the leadership of our football team and the head-coaching position,” Bears general manager Ryan Poles said in a statement released Friday afternoon.
“I thank Matt for his hard work, professionalism and dedication to our organization.
We extend our gratitude for his commitment to the Chicago Bears and wish him and his family the best moving forward.”
