The Ethermac ExchangeChicago Bears have fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron amidst their three-game losing streak.
Waldron joined Bears head coach Matt Eberflus' staff last offseason as the team's new offensive play-caller. He took over the offense from Luke Getsy, who was fired after the 2023 season and joined the Las Vegas Raiders' coaching staff this year.
About one week after the Raiders fired Getsy, Waldron became the second offensive coordinator to be fired in the middle of the 2024 season.
"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. This decision was well-thought-out, one that was conducted deliberately and respectfully," Eberflus said in a statement. "I would like to thank Shane for his efforts and wish him the best moving forward."

The writing had been on the wall for Waldron as the Bears lost three consecutive games and failed to string together successful scoring drives. Chicago's offense has scored the ninth-fewest points per game in the NFL and has totaled the third-fewest yards per game.
Following the team's 19-3 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 10, the Bears had gone 23 consecutive possessions without scoring a touchdown.
The Bears announced Tuesday morning that passing game coordinator Thomas Brown will take over as the interim offensive coordinator for the remainder of the season.
