The Bears are on their way to a fourth-straight losing season and they haven’t won a playoff game since the 2010 season, but team president Kevin Warren isn’t expecting to have a hard time finding people who want to coach the team.
Warren and General Manager Ryan Poles held a press conference to discuss the decision to fire Matt Eberflus on Monday and Warren made it clear that he thinks the opening will be an appealing one to the top head coaching candidates around the league. Warren said the job will be the “most coveted” one in this year’s coaching cycle and cited the team’s fans, tradition and forthcoming new stadium along with their football assets.
“We’re going to have plenty of salary-cap space,” Warren said. “We have a young, talented roster. We have strong draft capital in the upcoming draft. And we have a quarterback in Caleb Williams who’s shown that he’s very special, and in the right environment, he can become even more special than he already has shown.”
