The Chicago Bears hoped John Fox would be a transformative hire for a franchise looking to make its first playoff appearance since 2010, but the team reportedly decided to part ways with its head coach on Monday after the team went 5-11, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

All told, the Bears went 14-34 during Fox's three years at the helm.

The Bears initially signed Fox to a four-year deal in January 2015, and his first two seasons on the sideline weren't exactly smooth.

After going 6-10 in 2015, the Bears encountered a woeful 2016 that included losses in six of their first seven games.
