Shane Waldron was successful in his first season with the Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears have fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron amid their three-game losing streak.

Waldron joined Bears head coach Matt Eberflus' staff last offseason as the team's new offensive lineman. He took over the offense from Luke Getsy, who was fired after the 2023 season and joined the Las Vegas Raiders coaching staff this year.

About a week after the Raiders fired Getsy, Waldron became the second offensive coordinator to be fired midway through the 2024 season.

“After evaluating our overall effort, I concluded that it was in the best interest of our team to take the direction of our offense in a different direction. This decision was well thought out and made consciously and respectfully,” Eberflus said in a statement. “I would like to thank Shane for his efforts and wish him all the best for the future.”

OPINION: The Chicago Bears will ruin Caleb Williams if they're not careful

The signs were there for Waldron as the Bears lost three straight games and failed to produce successful shots on goal. Chicago's offense has scored the ninth-fewest points per game in the NFL and has yielded the third-fewest total yards per game.

After the team's 19-3 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 10, the Bears had gone 23 consecutive possessions without scoring a touchdown.

The Bears announced Tuesday morning that passing game coordinator Thomas Brown will take over as interim offensive coordinator for the remainder of the season.
