The Coaching Staff for the Chicago Bears’ Offense Is Surprisingly Good

Interviews, hirings, and firings. Once again, the Chicago Bears have entirely changed the coaching staff that oversees offense.

Fans, however, are all too familiar with this procedure. This time around,

though, the Bears have added remarkably impressive names to critical positions on the

staff instead of making appallingly uninspired additions. At least on paper.

The Chicago Bears assembled a capable coaching staff.

With a bang, the overhauling got underway. They brought in Shane Waldron to be the offensive coordinator. There, the former offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks had spent three seasons coaching strong teams. In 2022, he directed the NFL’s twelfth-ranked offense, which was his best season to date. More importantly, Waldron helped to rejuvenate Geno Smith’s career, which resulted in Smith being selected for two straight Pro Bowls and winning the 2022 Comeback Player of the Year award. But perhaps even more alluringly, Waldron is a member of the esteemed Sean McVay coaching family. Observe it; it will become more significant in the future.

Waldron did not lose time in getting his aides. Former Chargers wide receivers coach Chris Beatty was hired to fill the same role as quarterbacks coach Kerry Joseph, a former Seahawks assistant, and former Seahawks run game coordinator Chad Morton was brought to the staff as running backs coach.

The team’s greatest acquisition, aside from Waldron, was Thomas Brown, a former offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers, who joined as the passing game coordinator.

Brown played for the awful Panthers club in 2023, who had the lowest offense in the league. Even yet, many teams interviewed the 37-year-old multiple times for offensive coordinator positions. His past, before that one terrible season in Carolina, is what makes him so alluring. From 2020 to 2022, Brown was employed by the Los Angeles Rams under Sean McVay.

For a desperate Matt Eberflus and the Bears, the addition of two former offensive coordinators and disciples of Sean McVay to the team is critical. But it forces you to reflect. Did they pitch Caleb Williams’ idea to these guys?

I find it hard to imagine that two former offensive coordinators, Waldron and Brown, who were eager to collaborate with Eberflus, were allowed to join the Bears. He will fight for his job this season, after all, and has already put one foot out the door. They weren’t exactly desperate to work with quarterback Justin Fields, either.

There were probably offers for offensive coordinator positions on the table for both Brown and Waldron from other organizations. Therefore, it’s reasonable to suppose that in the face of these coaches, Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus dangled the chance to work with Caleb Williams, the undisputed top prospect in the 2024 NFL draft. For many of these assistants, working with a quarterback of Williams’ quality comes only once in a blue moon. And, should everything work out, an opportunity that may propel these guys into the running for far better positions.

If Shane Waldron can develop Williams and run a top-notch offense, he could be able to get hired as head coach. While Thomas Brown can make amends in Chicago and get another chance to be one of the league’s most desirable offensive coordinator candidates following a miserable tenure as an OC in Carolina.

For them, though, it’s a calculated risk. Matt Eberflus is essential to their jobs. Waldron, Brown, and all of the assistant coaches will probably follow Eberflus out of the coaching position at the conclusion of the following season if he stumbles. However, the reason these players traveled to Chicago was to practice with a quarterback similar to Caleb Williams, not to work with Matt Eberflus. We’re not sure if they want to collaborate with Fields or not.
