Eberflus gone! [View all]

Bears fired him this morning.

"Before this season, the Chicago Bears had never fired a coach during a season, a fact they were proud of.

They've also never experienced some of the late-game coaching fiascos they've had this season, especially what happened on Thanksgiving with everyone watching.

Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown will take over the remainder of the season, according to multiple reports."
