Now that the season has concluded, all eyes are on the Chicago Bears, particularly regarding the fate of head coach Matt Eberflus and quarterback Justin Fields.

Answers regarding Fields are expected in March as GM Ryan Poles assesses the quarterback landscape in the upcoming draft.

Regarding Eberflus, a decision on his status is anticipated by the middle of the week, following a comprehensive discussion between Poles and team president Kevin Warren. However, the situation with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy appears more straightforward.

In a recent column, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune shared uncertainty about Eberflus’s future but emphasized the likely outcome for Getsy, even if Eberflus returns for another year. Biggs suggested that if Eberflus secures a third season with the Bears, it is probable that he would have two new coordinators.

The offense struggled during the season, and the blame is not solely attributed to quarterback Justin Fields. As a result, Getsy may find himself in a challenging position. The Bears are expected to inquire about Eberflus’s vision for his staff in 2024, raising questions about the coaching lineup’s effectiveness.

Getsy’s lack of control over the offense, absence of identity, situational awareness issues, and execution problems have been notable concerns. The Bears finished 27th in passing offense, further highlighting the team’s offensive struggles.

While Eberflus has publicly supported Getsy, reports suggest that players have expressed frustration with the play calling, and D.J. Moore provided a lukewarm endorsement of Getsy’s coaching.

The prevailing sentiment among insiders, including Biggs, is that Getsy is unlikely to return for another year. The only potential scenario where this could happen is if the Bears decide to retain Fields for continuity purposes. However, most insiders do not foresee this outcome.

The likely scenarios involve Eberflus staying with Fields and Getsy leaving, or a complete overhaul where all three depart. Poles seems determined to reset the offensive situation, aiming for a new quarterback and a play-caller who can maximize their potential. The Getsy experiment appears to be reaching its conclusion.
