Matt Eberflus will make his NFL head coaching debut this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. Eberflus is the 17th head coach in Chicago Bears franchise history.
There have been plenty of noteworthy names both good (George Halas and Mike Ditka) and bad (Matt Nagy and Marc Trestman). Eberflus is surely hoping he’s considered among the former when all is said and done.
With that in mind, we’re taking a look at every Bears head coach’s all-time record before Eberflus makes his debut, starting with Matt Nagy and ending with George Halas.
