That’s why the hiring of a sharp quarterbacks coach, who can be groomed as a future play caller, is essential in the process as well. If Eberflus can find a coordinator on a fast track to becoming a head coach, the Bears would have a self-trained replacement ready for promotion. In reality, it would be a good problem for the Bears to have as soon as, say, 2024.

If Brad and his dad’s physician are certain his father has recovered and is safe living on his own, Brad could set a quick deadline for his father to return to his own house. This should be conveyed in a neutral, no-nonsense, friendly and firm fashion: “Dad, it’s time to get you back home so we can all get back into our routines. I’m going to take you back on Friday, so let’s start getting you packed up.”
El Gráfico, a Salvadoran sports newspaper, headlined the match “En una hielera.” Translation: “In a freezer.” Snow flurries fell during warmups and the temperature was the same as for the “Guerra Fria” win over Mexico at old Columbus Crew Stadium in February 2001 and the Snow Clasico victory over Costa Rica at Commerce City, Colorado, in March 2013.
The boy, who was also charged with criminal trespass to a vehicle, was identified as one of the people who took car at gunpoint from a 36-year-old woman and a 57-year-old woman on November 19 in the 11000 block of South Harding Avenue, police said in a news release.
League sources indicate Eberflus hopes to hire Rich Bisaccia, who finished this season as the interim coach of the Las Vegas Raiders after Jon Gruden stepped down. Bisaccia has been special teams coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys, with whom he was on the same staff as Eberflus.
Yes, the Bears had spent a week and a half interviewing at least 10 known candidates for head coach in the initial phase of their search. But that was before they had a GM in place. That, naturally, raises a series of legitimate questions. For starters, was Poles truly given full autonomy to decide who his coaching finalists would be? If so, how did he settle on his list of Eberflus, Dan Quinn and Jim Caldwell? And why did he meet with only three head-coaching candidates — and in such rapid fashion after he was hired? (The interview with Caldwell, for what it’s worth, took place Tuesday night just hours after Poles agreed to become the new GM.)
Under this system, Cook County would put felony cases on four tracks, Evans said, ranging from a six-month time frame for disposing of lesser felonies to a two-year timeline for disposing of murder cases. Deterrence of crime is more likely to come from consistency than severity of the sanction, he added, driving the need for consistent apprehensions and procedures.
