PALM BEACH, Fla. — Matt Eberflus looks and sounds like a man who expects to be coaching the Bears for a decade, and with that view of his situation, it’s easier to accept short-term hits in exchange for long-term gains.
He certainly isn’t complacent or lackadaisical, but he’s very much at ease. In the center courtyard at The Breakers, decked comfortably in a white dress shirt and khakis that could pivot easily from a staff meeting to walk on the nearby beach, he leans back in a white folding chair and talks about his big plans for the Bears with all the confidence in the world that he’ll be around long enough to see them materialize.
