At the end of the day it's just one of those things where enough is enough, and it's not his first rodeo, and it's one of those situations where it got to the point where end of the day from the outside looking in there was frustration.

[@Chitex03]

If it wasn’t for Jaylon Johnson, Eberflus may be still the coach, so give him credit for having the brass to speak up in the locker room and that the same ‘ole isn’t good enough. Much respect to Jaylon Johnson for lighting up some fire in this status quo organization.

[@emmettjones8075]

Let's see if we can get a White Sox player to do the same thing! LOL

At the end of the day eberflus is a idiot that should’ve been fired last year

[@ag4allgood]

Yep , & Jim Harbaugh should have been brought to Halas Hall for an extended interview. Management here though does not want strong personalities especially experienced in the ways of the NFL. No they want yes men as Head Coaches to kiss the ring of clueless George McCaskey who meddles in the football decisions like he knows what the hell he is doing ! Hiring the GM Poles then one year later hiring CEO Warren. Having an outside consortium pick Poles & Eberflus. What could possibly go wrong. Any former Bears player is treated like a flaming bag of dog droppings on their door steps. Incredible how F'ed up the Chicago Bears have become.

[@Dooby0071]

He should've never been fired

[@roberthatch6230]

Why would you say he shouldn’t be fired ? He’s only win a few games . Hes got a talented roster that he doesn’t know how to use.

Bless you have a great rest of the season stay healthy, and we are going to be very, very dangerous men next year, Bear down Chicago Bears.

[@Dell60644]

Well he did say he didn’t find out flus was fired until espn, and he didn’t get a text, maybe front office is upset with him and he might be on the way out, I hate to see him go, but knowing the front office they might trade him, hopefully not tho!

JJ is primetime without the prime...

[@TahitianTreatt]

2:54 many great players that have played in Bears uniforms have said this same thing. and this is really sad. Bears owners are to blame for most of this nonsense, from my pov. They do things that either make this look like a team not worth coming to, or things that prevent the team from succeeding. People keep talking about Ben Johnson, but good OC doesnt mean great HC. the Bears needs a no nonsense HC that has HC experience and respect from players that he's coached. If not, i feel like all of our best players, including Caleb, will be in another uniform within the next 3 years

[@BarbellsandBBQ]

Well said

[@humanbeing2420]

At the end of the day, it's just one of those situations where at the end of the day, both on the field and off, it is what it is.

[@KaleemClarkson]

7 out of 32 head coaches had previous HC experience. Only 3 of them are a lock for playoffs and 2 are almost sure to be fired. Stop It with we need a HC with experience. We need an offensive mind that calls the plays where he is in control of every play on offense. This way Caleb has the same playcaller for at least 3 straight years.

i really like that he didn’t let them trap him with those reporter questions. i mean they have a job to do so i’m not saying they’re doing something wrong.. but the “what do you need to see different” can easily turn into, *he said eberflus didn’t do this* . the “are you speaking for yourself?” can easily turn into *the players were frustrated and he spoke for all of them* he’s a savvy interviewee and i like that.

It would be so awesome to see Coach Brown eliminate the sloppiness of pre-snap and post--snap penalties. Game management and energizing the coaching staff who hasn't been eliminating poor player execution will be appreciated by the fans.

[@robertgriffin445]

JJ definitely did the right thing especially with coach who held a player accountable for their mistakes but will not hold himself accountable for his mistakes. Honestly, I hope Thomas Brown is the next HC. Just listening to his press conferences you see it in him. No nonsense attitude, no corny sayings or acronyms. Just a very humble straightforward and from the heart type of dude. He definitely reminds of a young Mike Tomlin. I credit Ryan Poles for doing the right thing. It took a little longer than I expected but he did it. Just get the next HC right cause they do have a really good team. On the verge of something special for a long time.

[@StewMain6]

The Bears are selling hope and I’m hopelessly buying it again. I hope Thomas Brown has what it takes. I love how he sounds but “at the end of the day” it’s what is produced on the field. This team has let us down time and time again, this season being one of them. It’s hard to believe they will somehow get this one right which is why I’m a hopeless romantic here thinking things could be looking up now that Flus is gone

[@Game-kp1zk]

I believe poles called Jaylon first because he was afraid that Jaylon might open up about him. Because he haggled with Jaylon about his contract even though he saw Jaylon play as good as any pro bowl player at his position. So poles calls him to show respect to Jaylon to calm Jaylon not to say anything about the gm.

[@StewMain6]

Jaylon’s contract was acceptable. It was Jaylon’s first healthy season and only one close to the probowl level that he played (mostly due to injury). His contract speaks to that imo. Is he worth more at full health? Absolutely but that’s that built in risk. I think Poles opted for lower overall pay but higher guaranteed pay. Guaranteed pay is more telling on how important you are seen as a player than the overall amount as “at the end of the day”, a team will cut you when that guarantee pay gets low enough and you don’t produce

[@kmscott21]

This team has talent, this team has potential, this team has players. What this team doesn’t have is a single bit of mental toughness. Zero (0) Nada Zip Nonentity Nadir None!! They’ve absolutely mastered the art of losing. Now they need a hard reset and then do nothing else but watch that documentary front to back over and over and over again until the light comes on for every single player on the team and they all become certified stone cold dominant dawg as winners!! From QB1 to the last player on the practice squad, they all need to thirst for the feeling of seeing Grant Park packed front back side to side until ppl are dam near falling in the Lake every single year that they put on the Navy and Orange and strap their chin straps!!

[@ericrodgers4494]

I see too many people in the comments who seem confused about the "race" question. I'm in my late 30s and have seen a lot of positive changes in the NFL. Some of us forget less than 10-15 years ago there was huge stigma regarding black coaches, black quarterbacks, and black leadership. So the NFL has come a long way and it's important to realize that. My entire family is from Chicago and soon as we got word that Eberflus was fired and Thomas Brown was in, the first thing my brothers mentioned was that the Bears have a predominantly black organization. Ultimately, winning is the only thing that matters, but representation is still important. In my own career I've worked for a lot of companies that are majority white, and its always refreshing to see someone else from your background. At the end of the day, representation matters.
