Eberflus has not been fired by the Bears at the time of publication. However, speculation in the sports world has been swirling since the team’s loss against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving.
Former Bears coach Dave Wannstedt weighed in about the team’s loss while speaking with NBC Chicago, and he emphasized that the players’ responses to a coach can determine their overall success.
“Coaches can lose games, but you can never lose the locker room. If you lose the locker room, you’re done, OK?” Wannstedt told the outlet. “And I don’t like what I’m hearing from the players afterwards. I don’t like the vibe. To me, if I’m George McCaskey, that’s what I’m looking at. We’ve had some blunders and there’s a thousand reasons why … Where’s my football team at? Do they still believe? That’s the key when you get in this situation.”
