New Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson will not retain interim coach and offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. Brown has interviewed for the play-calling role with the Seattle Seahawks, who fired Ryan Grubb after one season. Brown was promoted twice by the Bears in 2024, from passing coordinator to offensive coordinator and then to the interim coaching role when Matt Eberflus was fired in November. Bears team president Kevin Warren established late in the season that Brown would be a candidate to remain head coach. But a different reality came to light at Johnson's introductory press conference Wednesday at Halas Hall.
