New Bears offensive coordinator Chris Beatty has quite a bit of experience with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, going all the way back to trying to recruit him when he was at University of Maryland.

Now he’s got him, but it’s in a challenging scenario as the Bears try to regroup following the tumult that led to the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron and coach Matt Eberflus in past three weeks.

“This is hard for all of us — those guys are great coaches and great people,” Beatty said Thursday.
