Eberflus has bore the responsibility the past
two weeks, first with ex-defensive coordinator Alan Williams out
for "personal reasons" and then this past Sunday in the
aftermath of Williams' resignation last week.
"We've talked about different things but that's the plan right
now," Eberflus said Wednesday.
Through three games, the Bears (0-3) are allowing 35.3 points
and 407.3 yards per game. They have just one sack. They are
mired in a 13-game losing streak dating back to last season.
The Bears play the equally woeful Denver Broncos (0-3) on
Sunday.
Williams resigned last week, citing health and family as the
reasons. However, ESPN reported over the weekend that
"inappropriate activity" led to his resignation. It's not clear
what it was, though it wasn't criminal, per the report.
Eberflus was the defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis
Colts from 2018-21 before becoming the head coach of the Bears.
