The Minnesota Vikings played a tough Chicago Bears team in Week 12 but held on for a win in overtime. They showed fight and, with his promising performance, that Caleb Williams is the future of the franchise.
Fast forward a week later, following a clock management disaster on Thanksgiving, the Bears have made a coaching change.
Matt Eberflus became the fifth head coach from the 2022 hiring cycle to be fired. He joins Dennis Allen of the Saints, Nathaniel Hackett of the Broncos, Josh McDaniels of the Raiders, and Lovie Smith of the Texans in being fired by the teams that hired them.
Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell is now one of the five who still have their jobs, while others, like Doug Pederson and Brian Daboll, are on the hot seat.
This is the second coaching change for the Bears this season after they fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. Now, the man who was hired to replace Waldron, Thomas Brown, is set to be the interim head coach as well.
A lot of change is coming to a Bears franchise that is set up to be a problem in the NFC North in the coming years. Vikings Wire will keep you informed on who the Bears bring in to coch against them in 2025 and beyond.
