NFL experts weigh in on new Bears coach Matt Eberflus

Matt Eberflus is an unknown as a head coach, but what should give Bears fans comfort is this: he has been invested in by several people who have shown consistently shrewd judgement.

An NFL exec who’s interviewed Eberflus: “Honest, has integrity and will hold players accountable. Compares personality-wise to (Sean) McDermott. His system defensively: emphasis on effort, fundamentals and taking ball away…multiple on D and can morph into players’ strengths.”

I like the hiring of Matt Eberflus.

Three of the four coaches this weekend were young, first-time head coaches.

Brandon Staley did a great job with the Chargers.

Get on board with this Chicago. #BearDown

Matt Eberflus falls directly into the “don’t love it, don’t hate it” category for me.

Bigger focus comes down to what he can provide Justin Fields on the offensive staff. #Bears

Don’t think Eberflus will necessarily bring in an offensive coordinator he has coached with before

Always other connections to lean on. Flus is intense man, I think Bears fans could really like him if that comes through at the podium

Matt Eberflus has always preached intensity, toughness. Is considered a great leader of men. Bears have been a soft af team for years. This hire, combined with Ryan Poles (a former OL at GM), should make this a much more physical team
