The Chicago Bears are heading in the same direction as the Las Vegas Raiders. The team has had an underwhelming 3-7 record to date this season and two of their victories have come as a result of rookie Tyson Bagent starting for the team in lieu of Justin Fields. However, HC Matt Eberflus‘ days are numbered, at least that is what Chris Canty thinks.

The analyst addressed the possibility of seeing a totally different version of the Bears next season where the Head Coach will be Jim Harbaugh, the quarterback will be Caleb Williams, and the team’s star wideout will be Marvin Harrison Jr. 

That's what Jim Harbaugh does.

When he took over the job in San Francisco (49ers) in 2011, that was a 6-10 team and they went on to go to 3 consecutive championship games and a Super Bowl appearance in that.

He was referring to Harbaugh’s brief stint in the NFL as the HC for the 49ers.

Chris Canty further pointed out that all Harbaugh needs is a QB who is competent enough to play in the NFL. He cited the example of Josh Johnson at San Diego, at Stanford, on the San Francisco 49ers, and now on the Michigan Wolverines. Jim Harbaugh has shown that he can turn the fate of any team around.

Canty went on to add, 

He's a double-digit win coach in the regular season and you're going to have success in the postseason. He's the son of a coach, he played in the NFL for 14-years...He is damn good at his job, which is coaching football and then resurrecting programs.

Due to Harbaugh’s stellar track record, the analyst believes there is no reason to think that he cannot do the same with the Chicago Bears.

The Bears have completely missed the mark with Justin Fields. He is a great QB, but due to a bad offensive line; the team has not been able to get the most out of him.

In the latest development however, Harbaugh has been suspended by the Big Ten for the Michigan sign-stealing scandal, he will no longer be eligible to coach for the remainder of the regular season and this should give him ample time to think about making a possible return to the NFL.
