Bears Fire Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron, Promote Thomas Brown Amidst Offensive Struggles
The Chicago Bears have made a significant shake-up in their coaching staff, firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron after just nine games into the season. This decision was prompted by a disappointing offensive performance, particularly highlighted by a recent 19-3 loss to the New England Patriots, where the team managed to score only three points.
Head coach Matt Eberflus stated that the move was the result of a thorough evaluation of the team’s operations and was deemed necessary for the future of the organization. Eberflus expressed gratitude for Waldron’s contributions but emphasized the need for a different leadership approach for the offense.
Thomas Brown, previously the team’s passing game coordinator, has been promoted to take over the play-calling duties. Brown’s background includes a successful stint as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers and a collaborative coaching style that the Bears hope will revitalize their struggling offense.
Waldron’s tenure with the Bears, which began in January 2024, has been marked by offensive struggles, particularly with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who has faced heavy pressure and poor performance. Under Waldron, the Bears have been on a three-game losing streak, scoring a total of only 27 points and failing to score a touchdown in two consecutive games.
As the Bears look to salvage their season, the promotion of Brown signals a hopeful direction for the team as they prepare for crucial upcoming matchups.
