Free-falling Bears fire offensive coordinator Shane Waldron

Associated Press  

The Chicago Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday, hoping to shake up a unit that ranks among the worst in the NFL. He said the decision on whether to retain his offensive coordinator would be “mine alone.” “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. It’s been 23 consecutive possessions without a TD for the Bears since they scored in the final minute at Washington in Week 8, when they lost on a Hail Mary pass by Jayden Daniels. The Bears also added running back D’Andre Swift and veteran Gerald Everett to form what looked like a potent tight end tandem with Cole Kmet.
