Thomas Brown To Serve As Bears' Interim Head Coach
6 mins agoThomas Brown, who was promoted to offensive coordinator just over two weeks ago, will take over as the Chicago Bears' interim head coach after they fired Matt Eberflus on Friday. The Bears made the move to relieve Eberflus of his head-coaching duties after the Bears lost to the division-rival Detroit Lions by a score of 23-20 for their sixth straight loss. It's the first time in Bears franchise history that they have fired a coach in the middle of a season. Since the Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron and inserted Brown as the offensive coordinator, Chicago's offense, led by rookie first overall pick Caleb Williams, has improved. However, Eberflus' defensive unit has deteriorated, leading to his firing. Brown could be a candidate for the full-time job in Chicago if the team performs well down the stretch, but it also wouldn't be a surprise for the Bears to bring in a whole new coaching staff for 2025.
