Bears Fire Waldron After Record Short Tenure

The Chicago Bears have fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron after just nine games, marking the shortest tenure in the team's history since 1970. Waldron's dismissal follows a series of disappointing performances, culminating in a 19-3 loss to the New England Patriots, with the team failing to score a touchdown in their last two games. Head coach Matt Eberflus, who previously let go of former OC Luke Getsy, stated the decision was made to improve the Bears' struggling offense, which ranks 30th in total yards and 24th in scoring. The Bears, now on a three-game losing streak, had high hopes this season with No. 1 overall draft pick Caleb Williams, but the offense has been unable to perform effectively, raising questions about the team's future direction. Despite rumors of internal dissatisfaction, players like DJ Moore have expressed support for Williams, emphasizing ongoing efforts to improve the offensive connections. Thomas Brown has been named the interim offensive coordinator as the Bears prepare for their upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers.
