The Chicago Bears made a few coaching staff changes today, none of which included the firing of head coach Matt Eberflus.

The team decided to keep Eberflus for another season after he led the team to a 7-10 record to end the year.

However, the Bears did let go five members of the offensive staff, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter: offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, running backs coach Omar Young, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert, and assistant tight ends coach Tim Zetts.

So basically the Bears will be starting from scratch on the offensive coaching side of the ball under Eberflus’ direction.

This is an interesting move because it could signal one way or another what the team does with quarterback Justin Fields.

The third-year passer looked better in 2023 but may not have done enough to curry favor with the front office.

Chicago also holds the No. 1 pick and could look to draft a new quarterback to go along with a new offensive coaching staff.

Alternatively, the team may believe in Fields’ development but want to bring in a new coach to try and salvage their former first-round pick.

The next steps in the Bears offseason plan will be to find new offensive coaches, make a decision with Fields, and/or trade the No. 1 overall pick.

It’s going to be a busy spring for general manager Ryan Poles, but the future of the team is at stake after the Bears finished the season by winning five of their final eight games.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X. π—₯𝗨𝗠𝗒π—₯𝗦: The #Bears are looking for a "leader of men" for their opening at HC and GM Ryan Poles has been doing "serious homework" on #Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per @DMRussini (h/t: @FinsXtra ) pic.twitter.com/ueRsSzqmtz — JPAFootba...

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield.
