The Chicago Bears have parted ways with offensive coordinator Shane Waldron after a challenging start to the 2024 season. Thomas Brown, previously the passing game coordinator, has been elevated to the OC role on an interim basis. Meanwhile, Jerrod Johnson, the quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans, is emerging as a potential long-term candidate for the Bears' offensive coordinator position.

Johnson's success in developing rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud into a standout player has garnered attention, making him a strong candidate to help guide Caleb Williams in Chicago. His previous experience and potential for future head coaching opportunities make him a name to watch in the coaching ranks.
