And the winner is … Shane Waldron.
On Jan. 10, Waldron was in limbo and likely out of a job as the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator after Pete Carroll was nudged out as the Seahawks’ head coach. Today, the 44-year-old Waldron has the opportunity of his 20-year coaching career as offensive coordinator of the Bears.
Every offensive coordinator hired by the Bears in recent memory has had a similar opportunity — give this chronically quarterback-challenged, offensively-challenged franchise a real NFL offense and you can almost pick your head coaching job.
