John Fox has been fired as the head coach of the Chicago Bears after guiding Chicago to a third consecutive last-place finish in the NFC North, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and multiple reports.
Fox, whose contract ran through the 2018 season, had a 14-34 record with the Bears since being hired in January 2015 after a four-year stint as coach of the Denver Broncos.
He coached the Broncos to four consecutive division titles and a Super Bowl appearance, but he failed to duplicate that success with the Bears, who haven't had a winning season since 2012 and have made the playoffs just once in the past 11 seasons.
