Head coach: Matt Eberflus
The Bears fired both general manager Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy after last season, and hired Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus, respectively, as replacements. Eberflus had spent the previous four seasons as the Indianapolis Colts’ defensive coordinator. This being his first season, he obviously has a 3-11 (0.214 W-L%) head-coaching record.
Offensive coordinator: Luke Getsy
Eberflus poached Luke Getsy from one of his new division rivals to be the offensive coordinator. Getsy was the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Packers for two seasons before Eberflus hired him. The Bears’ offense is ranked 19th in points per game and 23rd in yards per game.
Defensive coordinator: Alan Williams
Williams followed Eberflus from the Colts to the Bears this season. Williams was the defensive backs coach under Eberflus in Indy. He was the running backs coach at William & Mary while Sean McDermott was playing there, and the defensive backs coach when McDermott spent a year on the William & Mary staff as a graduate assistant. Chicago’s defense is ranked 30th in points per game allowed, and 22nd in yards per game allowed.
