This move was widely expected, but it’s now being reported as a done deal by ESPN’s Adam Schefter; the Chicago Bears have hired Alan Williams to be their new defensive coordinator.
Williams has 30 years experience coaching, including the last 21 years in the NFL. He’s been with Bears’ head coach Matt Eberflus since 2018 when Eberflus brought him to Indy as his defensive backs/safeties coach. Prior to that he coached the secondary with the Detroit Lions (2014-2017), and prior to that he was the defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings for two years under Leslie Frazier.
