Matt Eberflus Needs To Start Skimming Job Boards and Get Out of Football
Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus better make sure that resume of his is up to date.
To the surprise of many, Chicago stuck right with the Detroit Lions on Thursday and found itself down 23-20 after forcing a three-and-out late in the fourth quarter.
The Bears took over at their own 1 with 3:31 remaining and worked all the way down to the Detroit 25, where tragedy struck. Chicago guard Teven Jenkins was called for illegal use of hands to push the Bears 10 yards back, then quarterback Caleb Williams was sacked for a loss of 6.
Williams was whistled down with 32 seconds to go before leisurely getting his team set up at the line of scrimmage. The Bears didn’t end up getting a snap off until there were six seconds remaining, and Williams proceeded to overthrow Rome Odunze as the clock hit zeros.
A sloppy ending? Yeah. Big time. But it gets worse.
Eberflus let it all happen with a timeout in his pocket.
Rather than using it, Eberflus opted to let his rookie quarterback take the game into his own hands and chew nearly 30 seconds of clock.
In case that wasn’t enough to make Eberflus the most hated man in Chicago on a day dedicated to giving thanks, togetherness and enjoying the company of loved ones, the 54-year-old then doubled down at the podium during his postgame press conference.
“I like what we did there,” Eberflus said of the end-of-game sequence. “To me, I think we handled it the right way.”
There is no way Eberflus should ever be able to bounce back from this. Ever. Coaching just isn’t for him.
To be fair, Williams did have the opportunity to burn the timeout, too. He didn’t, so, yes, some of the blame does in fact lie with him. However, Eberflus is far from some coaching guru. This isn’t the first time that he has looked like a deer in the headlights on the sideline, and it certainly won’t be the last if he somehow continues to stay on this career path.
What more does the Bears’ front office need to see to make a change? If only all of us had this type of job security.
Chicago fans have been absolutely going through the wringer as of late. They had to watch the Bears lose 30-27 to the Minnesota Vikings on a game-winning field goal in overtime on Sunday, a setback that came after the Green Bay Packers pulled off a 20-19 victory.
Before all that, Chicago got blown out by a pair of seemingly lesser opponents in the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots. Then there was that time the Bears lost to the Washington Commanders on a tipped Hail Mary at the end of regulation, marking the beginning of their current six-game skid.
A talented Chicago offense is finding new ways to get embarrassed on a weekly basis, and the man causing it still has a job. Hit the road, Eberflus. And don’t come back.

Hannah Green wins her 2nd HSBC Women's World Championship
Aug 21, 2025; Mississauga, Ontario, CAN; Hannah Green plays her tee shot at the third hole during first round play at the CPKC Women’s Open golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Australia’s Hannah Green held off Auston Kim on Sunday to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore for the second time.
Green, the 2024 champion, balanced three birdies and three bogeys on an eventful back nine to finish with a 3-under 69 and a final score of 14-under at Sentosa Golf Club. The 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner tapped in for bogey at the 18th for her seventh LPGA Tour title.
“When I did win Singapore two years ago, I went on to win two other tournaments that season and pretty much had my best season on tour,” said Green, 29. “So having a win so early in the season gives me a bit more flexibility with the tournaments that I can play. So I’m hoping that this puts me in good stead for the rest of the year.”
Green was at 16-under after birdies at the first, 11th and 13th holes and an eagle at the par-5 eighth hole. Her birdie at the par-3 15th helped her survive a bogey-bogey finish.
“I knew that I had enough of a lead to be able to get away with making mistakes coming down the stretch. But I think 15 was the real turning point,” she said.
First- and second-round leader Kim nearly chased down her first title, matching the low round of the day with a 67 to finish one shot behind Green in the 72-hole, no-cut tournament.
Kim carded six birdies and an eagle at No. 8, but a bogey at the par-3 15th proved costly for the 25-year-old American.
“Overall, I think it was a really solid week,” Kim said. “A great way to start the year. I hit a lot of bad shots but I also hit a lot of good ones, and it was really confidence boosting. I hit all these bad shots, and I didn’t feel like I had anything chose to my A game, but I was still able it pull off a result like this and play some really solid golf.”
Australia’s Minjee Lee (72 on Sunday), Angel Yin (71) and France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) tied for third place at 11-under with South Korea’s Haeran Ryu (72) another shot back in solo sixth.
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand finished with a 73 and tied for 31st at 2-under, one shot behind defending champion Lydia Ko (72) of New Zealand.

Cards extend manager Oliver Marmol through '28 season
Feb 22, 2026; West Palm Beach, Florida, USA; St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol (37) looks on from inside the dugout against the Houston Astros during the fifth inning at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol received a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season, the team announced Sunday.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, which holds an option for the 2029 season.
“As I’ve gotten to know Oli, I’ve seen someone who cares about this organization and knows what has made the Cardinals special over time — and who understands that for us to get where we need to go, we must compete relentlessly to set new standards in everything that we do,” president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said.
“He is invested in the progress of our young core and is unafraid to challenge himself and to help those around him grow. I am energized to continue working with him towards the on-field success that we expect and that our fans deserve.”
Marmol, 39, has guided the Cardinals to a 325-323 record during his four seasons as the skipper. He led St. Louis to the National League Central title in 2022 before the team fell in the wild-card series to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Last season, the Cardinals posted a 78-84 record to finish in fourth place in the NL Central.
Marmol was a coach with St. Louis from 2017-21 under previous managers Mike Shildt and Mike Matheny.
