Bears Request To Interview Shane Waldron For Offensive Coordinator

11 months ago

The Chicago Bears have requested permission to interview Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Shane Waldron for their offensive coordinator position, according to a source. With Pete Carroll out as head coach for the Seahawks, Seattle's assistants are now available, and the Bears are moving quickly after firing Luke Getsy, who had served as Chicago's offensive coordinator for the last two seasons. The Bears' new hire for the position will be their 13th offensive coordinator in 26 seasons and the third in the last four seasons. Waldron took over in Seattle in 2021 after four years with the Los Angeles Rams. It remains to be seen what the Bears plan to do with quarterback Justin Fields, as they could keep him and build around him in the upcoming draft or use the first overall pick in 2024 to take USC QB Caleb Williams.
