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 frantic pace. So Waldron was out. In his place, the Bears promoted passing game coordinator Thomas Brown to the position. It marks the second time he’s been asked to become the play-caller in the middle of the season, doing so last year in 2023.
