Caleb has to have a better grasp on the clock too. With the game clock running, you have get the play off sooner if you are going to audible. Is it true that the Bears won’t let Caleb call timeouts?
Everyone knows Eberflus needs to be fired. You have an extra 3 days plus a full week with a new coach. Eberflus’ only redeeming qualities have been his ability to coach the defense and that his players respected him. The defense has been shaky late in games for some time and his players have lost faith in him. There is not a single reason to keep him and even the conservative McCaskeys have to see this.
Hard Knocks in-season would have been so great.
Ownership gave Poles only three head coach options. Ownership might not let Poles fire Eberflus. George McCaskey said “I’m not a football evaluator, just a fan.” Yes, ownership is a big part of the problem.
If the Bears don’t fire Eberflus by tomorrow, head coaching candidates might think they have a serious organizational problem. That was the rumor with Ben Johnson. The only question will be does Poles get fired too. Would you hire Ian Cunningham as his replacement?
Once the clock got to 10-15 seconds, a TO had to be called. You get the first and then have enough time to spike the ball for a FG if you get tackled in bounds.
And if the clock gets under 5 seconds, you call a TO to regroup and call a final play.
