They brought in a new general manager in Ryan Poles, who was the Kansas City Chiefs' executive director of player personnel last year. He brought in Matt Eberflus, who had been the Indianapolis Colts' defensive coordinator since 2018.

This is Eberflus' first head coaching gig, and while the Bears aren't on anyone's radar, the 52-year-old is going to take it all in this upcoming Sunday.

"It's always special when you do something for the first time, you're calling a defense in the NFL for the first time, or back when I called it in college way back when, or when you step into a new role as the head football coach," Eberflus said Monday.

Eberflus has had many stops in a long career — his career started when he was a student assistant at the University of Toledo in 1992, and he didn't make an NFL coaching staff until the Cleveland Browns hired him as a linebackers coach in 2009.
