We finally know who led the push to fire Matt Eberflus from Halas Hall

It’s no secret that fans and media wanted Matt Eberflus gone. It’s been like this for weeks. In fact, many urged the Chicago Bears to make this move last January, believing it was necessary for the future of the quarterback they wanted to sign. It didn’t happen. A few months later, he became the first head coach in franchise history to be fired midseason. People wonder who finally got it across the finish line since it was obviously not property. The McCaskeys have resisted doing anything like this for decades.

Enter SearSTower. The Twitter handle has become a new sensation lately due to its surprisingly accurate information. It was the first report that former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had signed with the Minnesota Vikings.

So it was interesting when they provided detailed information about what was happening at Halas Hall. From what he heard, GM Ryan Poles was the strongest voice in the building in favor of moving on from Eberflus. That’s right, the man everyone believes has protected the head coach all season has made the strongest case for a move. A source confirmed to SM that it started after the loss to New England.

For those still skeptical, Jeff Hughes of Da Bears Blog basically confirmed this too after the firing became official.

Matt Eberflus no longer deserved the loyalty of the Poles.

Against the wishes of many, the GM brought the head coach back this season. That includes team president Kevin Warren, who reportedly would have preferred to move on. The Poles felt the coach deserved a chance to build on the momentum he built towards the end of last season. It looked like it was a smart decision after the Bears started 4-2. Then the offense collapsed, Shane Waldron was fired, the Hail Mary happened, and things went uphill from there. The Poles were ready to pull the plug after the Patriots fiasco, but the owners resisted the idea. They prefer to let coaches finish a season. However, the debacle in Detroit finally pushed it over the red line.

What we have learned about the Pole is that he is a pragmatic man. When he realizes that something is no longer working, he doesn’t waste time moving on. Less than a year after acquiring him from Pittsburgh, he moved to Chase Claypool. Nate Davis was cut less than two seasons into his massive free agent contract. It was in keeping with his character that he attacked Matt Eberflus when it became clear that the head coach was overwhelmed. Finally, he finally got his way.
