7 potential Chicago Bears offensive coordinator candidates to replace Luke Getsy
Here are seven potential candidates the Chicago Bears could look at as its next offensive coordinator after firing Luke Getsy on Wednesday.
Getsy, 39, joined the Bears in January 2022 after serving as the Green Bay Packers offensive assistant. The Bears lost their season finale against their NFC rivals on Sunday 17-9.
This comes after two days of near silence from Halas Hall, aside from player exit interviews on Monday. The Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans have fired their head coaches since the end of the regular season on Monday.
Getsy's firing means the Bears will have to replace both coordinators this season after Alan Williams resigned as defensive coordinator on Sept. 20, 2023. The next Bears' offensive coordinator will be the team's 13th in the past 26 seasons.
The Bears announced they will hold a press conference at 3 p.m. with general manager Ryan Poles, Eberflus and Bears CEO Kevin Warren.
