The end game series against Detroit was one of the most baffling things I have ever seen.  And his defense of it was even worse.  

He doubled down on it this morning after watching film and I think that's when they said that's the final straw lol.

He had 30 plus seconds left and a timeout, with the ball on the 40 yard line.  His kicker had the leg to make it from that distance.  How anyone could defend that is beyond me.  Just man up, admit you screwed up and move on.

The only thing surprising is that it took this long. Daboll will be next and it's surprising that one is taking this long too.

I think Giants ownership wants him to coach the rest of the year to make sure they don't win another game

This story sounds familiar.

Common denominator.....Thomas Brown. He might just be bad luck.

My buddy is a lifetime Bears fan. I told him after the last 20 second debacle they have to fire the coach. Worst coaching moment ever.

Eberfus used that final timeout during his meeting today. Prevented his firing by 30 seconds.

Well the coach sucked but Caleb actually changed the call for a dumbass reason lol

They had a TO. Wtf were any of them thinking? Rhetorical of course since they obviously weren't.

I don't recall pitching Eberflus as a head coach option anytime recently...or previously, to tell the truth.

I'd been wanting an offensive coach over the last few cycles.

The fact that Caleb acknowledges that they had one timeout before he goes into depth acting like he basically had no option but for a deep shot? lol.  I'm pretty sure the coach said the initial call was to try and get a little gain from an inbound pass and call time out so they could kick it at a little better distance. At the end of the day since Caleb was in over his head and panicking the coach should have called the time out and just tried the long field goal which I think would have been around 60 and even the screen flashed that their guy had kicked I think 64 yards before.

In Detroit, Bears players finally had enough. The locker room was an ugly scene. Players yelled back at their head coach — and he left. The inside story on the final days of Matt Eberflus and where he lost his team.
