Eberflus was dismissed after a Thanksgiving defeat against Detroit in November that saw Chicago\u2019s comeback attempt fail because of bad clock management.<\/p>\n<p>Matt was 14-32 as head coach of the Bears, so his sacking was not welcomed negatively by the fans of the organization. Today, he shared that he hasn\u2019t thought about the fans&#8217; reactions in Chicago when he returns as part of the Cowboys, and also added that his only focus is the future, not what happened before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will not do anything different in my preparation for the upcoming match vs. the Bears,\u201d admitted the current defensive coordinator of Dallas. In this profession, there are always tough moments and periods. You are always angry when you are defeated, because you invest so much in finding a way to win. However, no matter the result, the sun comes up after that, and you move on, while growing and learning,\u201d added Eberflus.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Matt Eberflus did not do a deep dive into his tenure as the Bears head coach when he met the media Thursday.
