Twitter Reacts To Bears' Firings
Change is sweeping through Halas Hall as the Bears appear to be cleaning house. While the organization hasn't made the news official, multiple reports broke the news that head coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery have been fired.
The news spread Monday morning—widely known as Black Monday in the NFL—that the Bears were making moves, and Twitter exploded with reactions.
Phil Emery fired, #Bears source confirms.

#Bears made right call to move on from Trestman & Emery. Team checked out long ago. Time for new leadership & accountability at Halas Hall.

Color me impressed, George McCaskey. Massive change with new football leadership was obviously needed. I did not expect the clean sweep.

Now that the nerds are gone can the Bears hire some cool guys?

Trestman will be highly regarded offensive coordinator candidate I would imagine. If I'm a HC candidate like Todd Bowles I'd give him a call

2. To me, Marc Trestman's downfall wasn't losing the locker room. It was losing the offense. Fixing the O, remember, is why he was hired.
