After watching the Chicago Bears fall flat against the San Francisco 49ers last week, most fans didn’t take long to reach their verdict on interim coach Thomas Brown. While they appreciate what he’s tried to do holding a collapsing house together, he probably isn’t the answer for them as head coach. Not at this time, anyway. They need a fresh voice with a new vision for the organization to come in here. However, that doesn’t change the fact that many inside Halas Hall love him.
That may explain the recent report from Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports. According to what he’s heard, the Bears are considering several avenues with their coaching staff. Brown will get an interview for the top job, but in the event that he isn’t the choice, which appears likely, there is an undercurrent of support for the idea of asking the next head coach whether they might be willing to keep him as offensive coordinator. This would give quarterback Caleb Williams some much-needed continuity.
Retaining Thomas Brown would be tricky.
It isn’t the first time the Bears have thought about keeping an assistant from one staff to the next. George Halas kept Buddy Ryan as defensive coordinator when Mike Ditka arrived. That led to a contentious relationship between the two of them, but it also created loads of success on the field. Chicago tried again in 2013, hoping to keep Rod Marinelli as defensive coordinator alongside Marc Trestman. That didn’t work out. Marinelli resigned and left for Dallas
Would Thomas Brown be willing to stay? It would likely depend on who the next head coach is. His relationship with Williams appears good. The two certainly have found some success lately. In the four games they’ve worked together, the quarterback has completed 65% of his passes for 967 yards, seven touchdowns, and no interceptions. It isn’t hard to see why the Bears might want to maintain that relationship.

@Sam Players have been coached much of their lives, but they are playing with teammates who started last year. Kiran, Dominique, Velus, are all players that didn’t know, but were treated like DJ Moore or Brandon Marshall. Do you think Tyrique Stevenson doesn’t need constant coaching? Guys like Moore and Jaylon Johnson are frustrated playing with untrained draft picks who are fucking up every other play. Your expectations that “they are all professionals” or “they are all grown men” simply isn’t true. I have worked for years with people who I’ve trained and trust, and new people walking in today.… Read more »
Poochpest that’s just dumb. Players don’t have to be coached for years to learn plays. C’mon man, that’s the mindset of accepting underachieving and losing. We see players join new teams every year and excel immediately. Players get traded and excel immediately. And it’s been a lot more than “days” my friend. It’s been a month.
This is how Chris Morgan is still employed. Let the man for once pick his own staff. That would be the most un-Bears thing ever, I know.
@Sam Brown should be calling basic bland plays. To call creative offense, players have to be coached for years, not days. That is what is so pathetic, that the Bears haven’t coached any position to any technique more than “basic” which they just want run harder and faster with more “HITS.” From the line play to “skill” positions, everything has been “basic” since before Trubisky. Watch Sean McVay call for multiple levels, multiple options, multiple looks – with 1st, 2nd, 3rd string players. Fields NEVER had those options, and everyone said he. couldn’t pull the trigger. Jay Cutler had more… Read more »
