The Chicago Bears' decision to fire offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday was a necessary move to salvage what remains of the 2024 season and an effort to try to do right by No. 1 pick Caleb Williams. It is also, perhaps above all, a poor reflection on head coach Matt Eberflus.
Waldron is the second offensive coordinator hired by Eberflus to be fired. The last one, Luke Getsy, was dismissed less than 12 months ago, meaning Eberflus had to fire his hand-picked OC twice in one calendar year. And that's not even mentioning that Getsy was hired and fired again in that same stretch by the Las Vegas Raiders.
