The Chicago Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus last week following the franchise's Thanksgiving Day clock management debacle that cost the the team a chance to tie the game against the Detroit Lions in the waning seconds of regulation.

Johnson was frustrated after Eberflus’ time management cost the Bears in a 23-20 loss on Thanksgiving Day, a miscue that cost the Bears coach his job, and Johnson left nothing unsaid. Johnson said he “didn’t really give a damn” that his postgame confrontation with Eberflus became public.

Johnson wasn’t ready to say the Bears’ mistakes — from the ‘‘Fail Mary’’ against the Commanders to a blocked field goal against the Packers to the loss to the Lions — automatically would improve because they have a new man in charge for the next five games.
