The Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday after just nine games and replaced him with Thomas Brown. Brown was their passing game coordinator and has experience at offensive coordinator for the Panthers and the University of Miami.
Coach Matt Eberflus declined to clarify his plans Monday, but wouldn’t commit to Waldron remaining on staff this week. The change came after a 19-3 loss to the Patriots, and the Bears have managed 27 points over their last three games.
They’ve had issues offensively throughout the season, and players began speaking up about Waldron’s scheme and coaching after an ugly Week 3 loss to the Colts.
