Chicago Bears Fire Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron

The Chicago Bears, struggling with a 4-5 record, fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron following a three-game losing streak and an NFL-low scoring offense. Amidst poor performance from rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who has not thrown a touchdown in three games and was sacked an NFL-high 38 times, some players have reportedly requested a quarterback change to second-year player Tyson Bagent. Head coach Matt Eberflus, under pressure himself, appointed Thomas Brown as the new offensive coordinator, hoping to revitalize the struggling offense. Waldron's departure marks the third offensive coordinator change in Eberflus' tenure, signaling urgency for improvement as the Bears face a daunting schedule ahead. The team's playoff hopes are dwindling, with ESPN estimating only a 4% chance of making the playoffs if current trends continue. Eberflus' position may also be at risk if the team does not turn its fortunes around soon.
