New Bears head coach Ben Johnson was asked about Matt Eberflus' timeout blunder on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions.
The Dallas Cowboys are promoting Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, making his first defensive hire -- potentially defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus -- all the more important.
Not only does it work for the Rooney Rule, it also makes sense that Matt Eberflus will want Andre Curtis here to oversee his secondary.
Ben Johnson hasn't even been on the job for a week yet, and already he is speaking to the Chicago Bears fanbase in ways some have never known. During Wednesday's introductory press conference, Johnson ingratiated himself with Bears fans by indulging in the rivalry with the Green Bay Packers and making a joke about how much he has "enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year" as the Detroit Lions offensive coordinator over the past three seasons.
DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys have hired former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus to be their new defensive coordinator, WFAA Cowboys insider Ed Werder confirmed Friday. The announcement comes less than an hour after news broke that the Cowboys would be hiring Brian Schottenheimer as their next head coach.
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson will at least be better at clock management than former coach Matt Eberflus.
After being hired by the Bears to be their next head coach, Ben Johnson was asked how he would've handled Matt Eberflus' time-out blunder.
Eberflus, who left Dallas to become the defensive coordinator for Indianapolis before using that as a platform to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears, is in discussions with club officials to return to the Cowboys as defensive coordinator, two people with knowledge of the potential staff told the Dallas Morning News.
Sloppy ends to games plagued the previous Chicago coaching staff and their new coach says he considers these situations a real strength of his.
With Waldron and Eberflus scapegoated and gone, and with a capable new head coach in tow, Williams and Co. have no excuses heading into 2025. The Bears haven’t been to the playoffs since 2020 and as an organization have won just nine total playoff games in the past 40 years.
Two days after the Chicago Bears introduced their current head coach, the coach they fired landed his next job.
