Mere months after dodging questions about whether the Bears would fire him at the end of a season wrecked by scandal on his staff, epic collapses on the field and general frustration, coach Matt Eberflus has been put in charge of the franchise’s greatest resource in recent history: quarterback Caleb Williams, the much celebrated and long-awaited No. 1 draft pick.
