According to multiple reports, including ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Bears are working on a deal with Eberflus to replace Matt Nagy, who was fired earlier this month.
. The other two finalists were Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, and former Lions and Colts head coach Jim Caldwell. Eberflus also was considered as a finalist for the Jaguars’ head coach vacancy.
The Bears also interviewed Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, former Eagles head coach Doug Pederson, Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, and Dolphins head coach Brian Flores during their search for a new coach.
Eberflus has spent the last four seasons as the Colts defensive coordinator, and helped Indianapolis steadily improve over that time. The Colts had the ninth best scoring defense in 2021 and ranked eighth in overall yards allowed, finishing second only to the Buccaneers in run defense. He started his coaching career in 1992 as a student assistant at his alma mater, the University of Toledo, where he played as a linebacker for four seasons, earning All-MAC honors as a junior and senior. He also served as a graduate assistant, recruiting coordinator, outside linebackers coach and defensive backs coach for the Toledo Rockets before becoming defensive coordinator for the Missouri Tigers in 2001.
