The Bears will not retain former interim head coach Thomas Brown, defensive coordinator Eric Washington and other assistants, sources confirmed.
Brown leaves the Bears having done something that Matt Eberflus couldn’t — beat the Packers. His season finale win against the Bears’ rivals was his only win in five games since he was promoted from offensive coordinator.
Brown has interviewed for multiple offensive coordinator jobs this offseason. He wasn’t expected to return when the Bears hired Ben Johnson, who will call his own plays.
