It looks like the Chicago Bears have found their replacement for offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. According to the latest reports, Seattle Seahawks OC Shane Waldron is currently working on a deal to join the Windy City franchise.
The latest intel came from Tom Pelissero of ESPN, who noted that the “Bears are working towards a deal to hire Shane Waldron as their new offensive coordinator, per sources.”
Waldron has been with the Seahawks since 2021 serving as offensive coordinator. With Seattle recently parting ways with Pete Carroll, Waldron’s departure shouldn’t come as a surprise as well.
The Seahawks’ passing offense, under Waldron, ranked 14th in the NFL in 2023. The Bears under Getsy were 27th in that area. Considering that Chicago has Justin Fields (or potentially Caleb Williams if they opt to take him in the 2024 NFL Draft), the offensive coordinator job with the Bears is definitely an intriguing one.
Chicago Bears Looking To Improve Under Matt Eberflus’ Tutelage
The Chicago Bears failed to make the playoffs in 2023. Making it even more frustrating, they lost the final game of the season to bitter rivals Green Bay Packers, which allowed Matt LaFleur’s men to secure a playoff ticket as the seventh seed.
Following their 7-10 season, the Bears decided to keep Matt Eberflus as head coach. Nonetheless, the team fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, along with other coaches from its offense staff–including quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert, running backs coach Omar Young and assistant tight ends coach Tim Zetts.
The decision left Eberflus needed to find two coordinators after defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned last September due to health reasons.
With Shane Waldron coming in, though, Eberflus can now check one task off his to-do list this offseason. Given that the NFL Draft is coming soon and the Bears have the no. 1 pick, the team will really want to straighten their coaching staff to prepare for a big decision and some changes ahead.
