Hall-Of-Fame Coach Jimmy Johnson: Never Seen ‘Dysfunction’ Like Matt Eberflus’ Error vs. Lions

(By Jason Lieser)

The Bears are a punchline yet again, and the sports-media world feasted on coach Matt Eberflus’ mismanagement at the end of their 23-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday.

As the clock wound down and the Bears tried to tie or win the game, it ended on an incomplete pass from rookie quarterback Caleb Williams as time expired. Eberflus allowed the clock to wind from 32 seconds to 6 seconds between plays, and left the game with one timeout unused.

“In 70 years of coaching, I’ve never seen dysfunction that cost a team an opportunity to win the game,” Hall-Of-Fame coach Jimmy Johnson said on the Fox studio show at halftime of the Giants-Cowboys game.

“He’s got a rookie quarterback, and different teams do it different ways. I handled clock management and timeouts. Sometimes the quarterback and coach do it. Sometimes the coach has a coach in the box talking to him about clock management.

“But when Eberflus saw that they were off-track and there was dysfunction, he should’ve called timeout.”


The loss was the Bears’ 6th in a row, dropping them to 4-8 this season and Eberflus to 14-32 in his tenure.

I thought the below stat was interesting...nearly half of the games that Eberflus coached were decided by 7 points or less.

And the Bears had an abysmal record in those games - Flus ranks dead last among all coaches with 20 such games as part of their record.

221 coaches have had 20+ career games decided by 7 points or fewer.

Matt Eberflus' .227 win percentage in those games (5-17) ranks 221st

Eberflus was absolutely atrocious as a HC, solely because of his lack of time management and situational awareness skills.

Still, I would take him in a heartbeat over Bradley as a DC.
