Analysis: The situation for Thomas Brown isn't perfect but it's far better than the one most interim coaches inherit as he tries to retain the head coaching job

It remains to be seen whether Bears President Kevin Warren and General Manager Ryan Poles handle Eberflus' replacement a little smoother. Interim Head Coach Thomas Brown—who not long ago was named offensive coordinator after Shane Waldron was also fired from that position—will be in charge next Sunday as the 4-8 Bears take on the San Francisco 49ers and try to snap an eight-game skid.

The Lions went to battle with the Chicago Bears but ultimately came away with the win for dinner, moving to 11-1. You can argue they also got the dessert of being the straw that broke the camel’s back on the tenuous tenure of Matt Eberflus as head coach of the Bears.
