The Bears appoint new coach former Colts Defensive Coordinator to the post

The Chicago Bears confirmed a new manager yesterday, with former Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus successfully taking the position. Eberflus has just finished his fourth season with the Malts, whose defensive efficiency ranks in the league's top ten each year.

Eberforus has been on a high pedestal lately, having held linebacker coaching roles at Brown and Cowboy before the Masons as defensive coordinator, and prior to that, he has been a college coach and held various defensive coaching roles at the University of Toledo and the University of Missouri.

However, the Bears in the new season do not have a first-round pick, in order to get Justin Fields, the Bears traded nine picks last year and paid for the first round of this year's pick, so far, their first signing this year is 39 picks. The same problem will plague their new general manager, Ryan Pouls, who was previously the chief executive director and recently took over from Ryan Pace, who was sacked after the 2021 season.

The Bears under Matt Najib once gave people hope, leading the team to the playoffs in 2018 and 2020, and also won the championship in the north of the country in 2018, but both playoffs were a one-game exit. In four years with the Bears, Najib's record is 34 wins and 31 losses, compared to 6 wins and 11 losses last season.

Although he had only four years with the Bears, Najib had used Mitchell Trubiski, Nick Falls, Andy Dalton and Fields as quarterbacks. Last season, the Bears' total yards and points could only rank in the league's bottom five levels, which shows that the Bears' problems are mainly on the offensive end.

The choice of Eberflus was largely due to the decision of their new general manager, Pouls, who had worked with the sheikh and Pohrs for many years before becoming general manager at Colts, The Maws.

There is no doubt that Eberflus's biggest challenge is on the offensive end, he has proven his ability to adjust the defensive team before, in addition, the team's cultural construction will also be the focus of Eberflus's work. In addition, the choice of who will be the team's new offensive coordinator will also be a concern for fans.
