Bears Fire Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron
1 day agoThe Chicago Bears fired offensive coordinator Shale Waldron on Tuesday after just nine games into his first season with the team, according to sources. Passing-game coordinator Thomas Brown is expected to take over as the team's interim offensive coordinator. The move comes following three straight losses with mounting concerns on offense. The Bears have scored a combined 27 points in the last three games and they have not scored a touchdown in 23 possessions. No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams threw for 120 yards and was sacked nine times -- an NFL-high for any game this season -- in the 19-3 loss to the Patriots in Week 10. Chicago has also allowed six or more sacks in back-to-back weeks for the first time since 1993. Williams has been sacked 38 times, the most for a rookie in his first 10 weeks since David Carr was sacked 49 times in 2002.
