When you get fired midway through your first season on a team, something must've gone horribly wrong. Shane Waldron came over from Seattle in January to take over as offensive coordinator. The initial impression was that the Chicago Bears had made a safe choice. He'd had three decent years with the...
The Chicago Bears are in somewhat uncharted territory. They have never fired an offensive coordinator in the middle of a season before. That should tell you how bad things were with Shane Waldron following three games of 27 combined points and two straight games with no touchdowns. Head coach Matt...
Thomas Brown has stepped into a familiar situation. Last year, he was forced to take over play-calling from Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich as he was on the hot seat. Now here he is again, trying to salvage another #1 overall pick who saw his original play-caller, Shane Waldron, fired for...
During the Chicago Bears' win over the Carolina Panthers on October 5th, safety Jaquan Brisker violently collided with tight end Tommy Tremble. Both came out of the game with concussions. Brisker was expected to miss about a week or two, which is typical for such an injury. It has now been a month...
A couple of weeks ago, two prominent NFL insiders revealed that Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson had interest in the Chicago Bears head coaching job this off-season. He is likely to do so again if Matt Eberflus is fired at the end of the year as expected. Whether that holds true...
After Shane Waldron was fired on Tuesday, Marc Silverman of ESPN 1000 released an interesting bit of inside information. First, several players in the locker room approached GM Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus about making a change at offensive coordinator. That wasn't a surprise. There'd...
The Chicago Bears are venturing into the unknown now. Shane Waldron has been fired. His inability to fix the offense after three weeks of not scoring finally did him in. Players weren't happy, and fans were irate. Head coach Matt Eberflus had to do something. His own seat was heating up at a...
Matt Eberflus remains the head coach of the Chicago Bears. Despite pleas from fans and media, that is unlikely to change for the next two months. The McCaskey family has never fired a coach midseason. As bad as things have been, not enough has happened to break that tradition. For better or worse,...
DJ Moore was on Cloud Nine coming into the 2024 season. He'd just signed a lucrative contract extension with the Chicago Bears, securing his long-term future. He just had the best season of his career in 2023, posting over 1300 yards. Expectations were he'd do more of the same this year. Halfway...
Normally, players choose to avoid the topic whenever a head coach or assistant coach gets fired midseason. They don't want to kick a guy when he's down or don't want to come across as a malcontent. Boy, that is not the case at all for multiple Chicago Bears players after offensive coordinator Shane...
As the Chicago Bears offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron couldn't last more than nine games. Things got that bad. Only scoring one touchdown and 27 points in three games. Constant accusations of no creativity or understanding of personnel. No leadership presence. Players grew restless. The 19-3...
The shakeup at Halas Hall isn't over yet, it seems. Shane Waldron is out as offensive coordinator. Such was a necessary decision after his unit hit rock bottom over the past two weeks, scoring 12 combined points. However, head coach Matt Eberflus and GM Ryan Poles weren't done yet. After weeks of...
