Chicago Bears Consider Coaching Changes After Poor Season

The Chicago Bears are in search of a new head coach after parting ways with Matt Eberflus. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is a top target, but former NFL player Clay Harbor suggested Mike McCarthy as a strong alternative, citing his extensive experience despite a less successful tenure with the Dallas Cowboys. Meanwhile, ESPN's Dan Graziano predicted that the Bears might consider Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, known for leading a strong defense, although concerns linger about his past relationship with quarterbacks. Caleb Williams, the Bears' rookie quarterback, had a challenging season, finishing with notable statistics but struggling with his performance under pressure. A teammate expressed frustration at Williams' lack of Offensive Rookie of the Year recognition, attributing some of his difficulties to a weak offensive line. Williams' slow decision-making contributed to a league-high number of sacks, emphasizing the need for the Bears to provide him with better support and development.
