Eberflus FIRED!

If we lose AG in the offseason, Eberflus is worth a look at DC. He’s a a very good DC.

He did make a huge play for our defense yesterday.

[Thats2]

We did make their defense look like a high school team for a half yesterday, though, and if it weren’t for some ill-timed mistakes that score could have (should have) been out of hand before they had a chance to come back.

I think we promote from within. At worst bring in a guy Dan or Brad have previously worked with.

I’m pretty worried Ben Johnson is going to take that job.

Supposedly Ben has shown interest but it’s believed most in the NFL inner circles feel he’s best suited to be an OC not a HC. They question his skills to lead. But it only takes one GM or Owner to believe he’s the answer.

I think AG is more likely the one we lose but it’s obviously possible we could lose both.

I’ll be surprised if AG doesn’t get a HC offer. Ben I think there’s a good chance he stays with us.

This has been my belief for over a year. Just listening/watching them in press conferences and hard knocks, etc… I don’t think Ben has the temperament to be a HC. AG has HC written all over him IMO

I think A LOT of Lions fans are forcing themselves to believe this because they’d rather lose AG than lose Ben Johnson. BJ is the better candidate pure and simple. He will take the job that he wants. I personally believe BJ goes to the Saints and AG goes to the Jets!

lol ok …. Why is it you want to tell yourself otherwise?

This is not my opinion. This is what I’m hearing.

I really have no preference on Ben over AG. I think they both will have interviews. Ben only has to convince one team he’s the guy.

[DuhLyins]

Detroit would be an oasis for a guy like him. But if you really believe (as some do) that he threw the game yesterday to hasten his exit, then how can you hire a guy like that?

[Thats2]

I agree with you that this narrative is out there but I also think it’s patently absurd, personally. I think someone from the Commanders put it out there and groupthink took over. And it’s an easy angle to sell because he’s stoic on the sideline. Never mind that there’s been a thousand successful coaches who were stoic, this time it matters.

I don’t think too many teams will be overly swayed though, but we’ll see. Owners can be dummies.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the recently promoted OC now become the interim HC as well

Absolutely. There are now at least two very good DC’s out there - Eberflus and Saleh.

That’s exactly what happened.

When I see Lions fans saying stuff like “AG is the better coaching candidate” that is what makes me believe they are trying to convince themselves of that. Now honestly who do you think Lions fans would rather lose…Johnson or Glenn??

[DeadDog]

He came from the rams… was an Asst HC there, and a prior player…

Sound familiar?

I wouldn’t be surprised if they start winning

They can win the next two and help us out!!

@Blizer

They allowed him to do the press conference this morning

and then fire him after that

Bears are unserious as an org i swear.

Ryan Poles, your seat is ■■■■■■■ scorching rn buddy, Could be gone aswell this offseason.

I was catching my parents up on the series of events by the Bears, and they were dumbfounded. They let Montgomery sign with us, then paid Swift more than we gave Montgomery. They let Roquan Smith walk, then paid just as much to replace him with lesser players. It makes no sense.

[TNutZz]

having a coach fired after the Thanksgiving day game used to be a tradition with the Lions. Only now is the other team.

[TNutZz]

I also remember saying to someone at the bar that I thought them going for two points when they did was a mistake

If they are down by two in field goal range on the road with 16 seconds left, I think they manage the clock a lot differently than they did.

Nobody wants to go into overtime in a hostile environment. Especially when the only way they really bottled up our offense was after we started playing conservatively if we get the coin flip in overtime, we probably win the game.

Yep. Going for 2 when they did was “smartest man in the room” type stuff. And what’s worse is they didn’t even have a “money play” dialed up. They just ran a regular play and hoped it worked. It was bizarre and a complete lack of situational awareness.

[TNutZz]

I was just watching the replay of that last play. Another crazy thing is the reciever had a step and it was a nice throw

The receiver then pulled up trying to draw a flag vs just playing throwing and making the game winning catch

Then Arnold was making the motion like he was looking for a flag.

No call of course. It all made very little sense

The only one is Mooch right??

Eberflus explaining his late game antics - “well we knew a field goal try would get blocked so we just did nothing”.

[OKILion]

I don’t think he tried to throw the game. The Bears went for the win but the play (Caleb changed the play) took way long. There should have been about 3 seconds left if incomplete to tie the game with a FG.

I’m glad it happened the way it did. Practicing situational football is so important in today’s NFL.
