Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy looks on during the Lions game.

The Bears fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy because coach Matt Eberflus didn’t see the improvement he wanted.

“We felt that when you looked at the growth and development and improvement, it wasn’t where it needed to be,” Eberflus said Wednesday. “That’s why those changes were made.”

The Bears fired Getsy on Wednesday morning, along with most of his staff, including quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko and receivers coach Tyke Tolbert. Now they’ll have to find their 13th different offensive coordinator in as many years.
