Black Monday tomorrow for some NFL coaches, who’s going be fired?? Already in season :
Carolina fired Reich
Chargers fired Staley
Raiders fired McDaniels
Falcons fired Smith
Commanders fired Rivera
Whos next??
Hopefully, Eberflus.
He’s gotta go, and that’ll be the end of Fields there I think. Most new coaches don’t want to inherit another guys project, especially if you’re sitting on the #1 pick
Of course, Eberflus inherited Fields himself, which does prove your statement to a degree, but if you think Fields is the problem, maybe you keep Eberflus.
I’d keep them both and trade the pick, however, given the return you can probably get for it. The Bears are not good, but they’re not bad and they keep changing direction every 2-3 years, which hasn’t proven successful. Use the pick to shore up 2-3 other positions this year and get more draft picks down the line, and pick up a Penix, McCarthy or Nix later in the first or in the early 2nd round. Maybe even get Daniel’s at 9 if he’s still on the board. But stick with Fields for now, only with some competition you can switch to if needed. Fields showed moments where it looked like he could be part of the solution, especially as the year went on. If he is, there’s no reason to restart the process with a rookie QB. Most don’t play like CJ Stroud did.
