Chicago Bears OC Luke Getsy receives promising update for his 2024 return in Week 17

Eberflus has promoted himself as a CEO-styled head coach. Ironically, his best argument for keeping his job this offseason is how he’s called the defense this season. Eberflus has been calling the defense since Alan Williams stepped down earlier this season for unknown reasons.

Running backs coach David Walker was fired a few weeks later for unknown reasons. How’s that for a winning culture?

The Chicago Bears might have to keep Getsy around

Can the Bears sell the fanbase that they trust Eberflus to continue as a “CEO” if they fire their other coordinator, Getsy, at the end of the season? The shortcomings of Eberflus’ coaching staff have have helped cost the Bears a chance to make the playoffs with an extremely favorable schedule they were given.

The Bears have played better in the second half of the season, as they have gone 4-2 since Justin Fields returned from injury against the Detroit Lions in Week 14. Getsy will get some credit from the Bears’ brass for helping that turnaround.

If the offense plays well in the next two weeks, the Bears could be put in a position to retain Getsy and Eberflus. Getsy could be paired with a rookie quarterback in a lame-duck year, with Eberflus returning in 2024 on the hot seat. Or the Bears could run it back with Getsy and Fields together in 2024.
