The Chicago Bears announced the hiring of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday, but they have work to do to fill out their coaching staff.
Coach Matt Eberflus plans to name a defensive coordinator after he didn’t fill the position midseason following Alan Williams’ exit.
Eberflus said this month that he was still determining whether he would continue to call plays, as he did for most of the 2023 season after Williams left. But he also said the Bears were “going to keep everything open right now” as they considered candidates.
Either way, Eberflus believed the position would draw prime candidates, though the Bears potentially could interview in-house candidates too.
