It’s not even October yet, but the 2023 Chicago Bears season might already be over, and that has fans ready to move on from head coach Matt Eberflus. The Bears wrapped up a tumultuous week with one of the worst losses in recent memory, falling to the Kansas City Chiefs 41-10 to begin the season 0-3 and give Eberflus an overall record of 3-17 since he was hired as head coach. The defense was dominated by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense until the starters were pulled midway through the third quarter.
The Bears offense, meanwhile, continued to play with very little rhythm and had costly turnovers that turned this game from a lopsided affair to a complete blowout before halftime. Their first points didn’t come until the fourth quarter, and no one seemed interested in playing out the rest of the afternoon. That lies with the coaching staff, and Bears fans have already seen enough from them to want a change.
During and after the game, Bears fans took to social media to express their disdain for the team’s early-season failures. The general message? Fire Eberflus and the coaching staff.
The Bears are cooked. This team quit. There's no coming back from this. Fire Eberflus tonight.
Go get Caleb Williams in 2024 and cross your fingers that your millionth bite at the QB apple can at least be slightly above average.

There is zero reason to keep Poles or Eberflus. None. They both should be fired immediately after this game. #Bears

Ryan Poles, Matt Eberflus, Luke Getsy should all have a car waiting on them at halftime to take them to the airport.
They can tell the desk agent where they want to spend the fall and winter when they get there.#Bears pic.twitter.com/mrslGPEiVX

Time for the Bears to fire Eberflus and go the route of the Colts and hire a beloved ex player randomly to be HC to finish the year. Welcome new Chicago Bears HC @LanceBriggs
— Kyle Thorsen (@ThorCo34) September 24, 2023
Fire everyone! Get rid of Poles, Eberflus, Getsy, and the entire staff. Put them on the first flight out of Chicago and send them packing. One of the worst teams I’ve seen in a long long time. The Bears are an embarrassment and the city of Chicago deserves better than this

Can probably go ahead and fire Eberflus now. Just get it over with.
— Dave Melton (@DMelt57) September 24, 2023
A real franchise would fire Eberflus tomorrow.

This is the kind of game that merits an in-season firing. #Bears HC Matt Eberflus has earned that firing.
Won’t happen. But must be said.
