Bears Expected To Have Interest In Eric Bieniemy

12 months ago

The Chicago Bears are expected to have interest in Washington Commanders assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, among others, with general knowledge that current head coach Matt Eberflus is under evaluation with the team at 4-8, according to a source. Eberflus has gone 7-22 as the Bears' head coach since the start of 2022 and would need a drastic turnaround in the season's final five weeks to avoid being fired. Bieniemy could finally get his call as a head coach this offseason, but it might be tough to pry him away from the Commanders if they believe he's the right guy to replace current head coach Ron Rivera, who is firmly on the hot seat in D.C. Bieniemy could be an interesting fit in Chicago if the Bears decide to stick with quarterback Justin Fields heading into the 2024 season.
