Big surprise.
Matt Eberflus was fired by the Chicago Bears on Friday after his costly decision not to call a timeout sealed Chicago's 23-20 loss to Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones reports Thomas Brown will take over as interim head coach. Brown was recently promoted to offensive coordinator, replacing the fired Shane Waldron.
Eberflus, who spent four years as the Colts defensive coordinator prior to coming to Chicago, went 14-32 during his tenure with the Bears, which lasted less than three years. The Bears went 3-14 in his first season, 7-10 last season and started 4-8 this season. This year's team started 4-2 start but has since lost six straight games.
