Chicago Bears Fire Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron

The Chicago Bears have fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron after just nine games due to the team's ongoing offensive struggles, including a three-game losing streak where they scored only 27 points total. Head Coach Matt Eberflus announced that Thomas Brown, previously the passing game coordinator, will take over the offensive duties. Waldron's tenure was marked by poor performance, with the Bears scoring the ninth-fewest points and gaining the third-fewest yards per game in the NFL this season. This decision follows a particularly dismal 19-3 loss to the New England Patriots and a stretch of 23 possessions without a touchdown. Waldron's firing marks the second time this season that the Bears have replaced an offensive coordinator, following Luke Getsy's dismissal last year. The Bears, currently 4-5, face the Green Bay Packers next.
