Bears defensive assistants steer clear of discussing DC Alan Williams

Bears linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi has worked with Matt Eberflus the last six seasons and worked with him before that in Dallas.

With the Bears giving little clarity on what caused former defensive coordinator Alan Williams to resign, everyone in the organization — down to the position coaches and players — spent Wednesday and Thursday navigating questions about his mysterious exit.

When Bears defensive position coaches spoke to reporters Thursday evening, they were clearly uneasy when Williams’ name came up.

“I’m just excited for the game,” said linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi, who had worked with Williams since 2018 when both were assistants under Matt Eberflus.
