Holy crap:

He is now too hot to go

 

[Spring in Fialta]

He wasn't doing a good job. That's one thing. But completely embarassing the franchise like that on national TV was such a bad look. Would have been better off losing 23-13.

 

[Ace]

That was one costly timeout he held onto

 

[Mrfenn92]

Can’t wait for the bears to hire offensive version of eberflus

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Happy and all but it is again dysfunctional that Bears let him come into Halas Hall and hold his media briefing to then fire him hours after

Infact one would say it is a pretty shitty thing to do to him and again makes Bears look terrible as an organization

 

[GKJ]

First time in 100 years of Chicago Bears football that they’ve fired a head coach in-season

 

[hockey20000]

won't matter who replaces him it's the bears lol.

 

[GKJ]

The did this after sending him out for his press availability too

 

[Teemu]

Had to happen. He just kept embarrassing the franchise, not just with his calling on the field but also with his inability to accept any responsibility for it afterward.

Thomas Brown speedrunning from pass game coordinator to head coach in less than 3 weeks

 

[Troy McClure]

Friendly reminder to Bears fans they could have hired Harbaugh this off-season.

Happy holidays to you too.

Only complaint is that they didn't fire him earlier.

Now for the inevitable bad hire.

Someone with a defensive background because BEARS FOOTBALL.

The usual cliche's: Monsters of the Midway, Smash Mouth Football, 85 Bears, rough and tumble toughness.

Send in the next idiot!

It needed to happen, but what an amazing stat:

This is why everyone said they had to clean house last year. Made no sense to bring back a bum coach and waste an important year of QB work. Now Caleb will have a new coach for six weeks and then a third new voice next year. It’s the easiest thing in the world to change coaches when you draft a top QB prospect.

My guess is they were afraid of getting a bum due to their awful rep as an organization and then having to wait 2-3 years to fire him.

Maybe Saleh is the best bet. Dunno who else is really out there.
Gives Brown a good chunk to audition I guess. Started as the passing play coordinator this season
