Breaking: Ex-Rams Coach Out, Another Takes Over Key Bears Position
One former Los Angeles Rams assistant is out and another is in for the Chicago Bears as they shuffled their offensive coordinator position under Matt Eberflus on Tuesday. Shane Waldron, who was on Sean McVay’s staff for four years in Los Angeles, has been fired as the Bears’ offensive coordinator.
Replacing him is Thomas Brown, who was with the Rams for three years from 2020-2022. Brown is being promoted from passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator, his second opportunity to be an OC in the NFL; he was Carolina’s offensive coordinator for one year in 2023.
Waldron has not had successful stints as an offensive coordinator thus far, ranking 13th or worse in each of his four years in that position: three with the Seahawks and one with the Beras. This season, Chicago ranks 30th in total yards after the Seahawks were 21st under Waldron in 2023.
