CHICAGO — After much speculation, Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron has been fired.
The team announced the decision Tuesday morning, saying Waldron has been “relieved of his duties,” just hours after head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters “adjustments and changes” would be made.
“After evaluating our entire operation, I decided that it is in the best interest of our team to move in a different direction with the leadership of our offense,” Eberflus said in a statement. “This decision was well-thought-out, one that was conducted deliberately and respectfully. I would like to thank Shane for his efforts and wish him the best moving forward.”
Offensive passing game coordinator Thomas Brown will step into the role.
“Thomas is a bright offensive mind who has experience calling plays with a collaborative mindset. I look forward to his leadership over our offensive coaching staff and his plan for our players,” Eberflus said.
