Report: Former Bears Head Coach Matt Eberflus ‘Involved’ in Bengals Defensive Coordinator Search
In an intriguing turn of events, former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is reportedly involved in the Cincinnati Bengals’ search for a new defensive coordinator. Eberflus, who was let go by the Bears following a disappointing season, brings a wealth of experience and a reputation for developing strong defensive units.
Sources close to the situation indicate that Eberflus has been in discussions with Bengals management as they look to bolster their defense following a season that fell short of expectations.
