The Chicago Bears’ season has been a roller coaster, but they’ve looked solid in recent weeks. Despite this, many football fans believe Matt Eberflus’ tenure as head coach will expire in the offseason. However, it appears like the franchise has a different plan for Eberflus.
With head coaching rumors circulating throughout the league, the Bears are expected to retain Eberflus as head coach next season, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Perhaps it’s the Bears’ recent run of success. Perhaps the front office actually believes Eberflus is the right man for the job in the long run. In any case, given the mainstream opinion on the second-year head coach, a report like this is somewhat shocking.
Eberflus’ career record as the Bears’ head coach stands at 9-23 entering Week 17. This is far from an ideal record. Furthermore, for the most part, the team has appeared careless. Even though they’re a long shot, the Bears are officially in the postseason race.
