Same as the Old Boss?

Let’see. Old Bears’ GM Ryan hired Matt, a coordinator with no head coaching experience, to coach the Munsters. New GM Ryan hires Matt, a coordinator with no head coaching experience, to coach the Munsters. Do you see a pattern? I hope not. Unless the McCaskeys try to lowball their intended hire (and it’s happened), Colts’ defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus will take over from Matt Nagy at Halas Hall. If memory serves, Lovie Smith got the job after being a defensive coordinator for the Rams. Do you see a pattern? I hope not. Eberflus may be hiding his offensive talent under a bushel basket; I hope so. Because, if he isn’t, it’s going to be Lovie and Nagy, 2.0, with much ballyhooed moves on offense (think Jay Cutler and/or Brandon Marshall and/or Martellus Bennett and/or Allen Robinson and/or Trey Burton) adding up to absolutely nothing. But the defensively-reinvigorated Munsters will lead the league in turnover differential. Sorry, but if you don’t commit to throwing over the middle, you don’t win. Does hiring Eberflus show the Bears continue to exist in an alternative reality? I hope not, but I think so.
