Chicago Bears Fire Running Back Coach David Walker Amid Turbulent Season

Bears' human resources department involved for the second time in assistant coach dismissal, with both dismissals reportedly linked to workplace behavior.

  • Chicago Bears running back coach David Walker was dismissed from his position, marking the second assistant departure from the team this season. The dismissals are reportedly tied to workplace behavior issues.
  • The team's human resources department was involved in both Walker's dismissal and the earlier resignation of defensive coordinator Alan Williams.
  • Head Coach Matt Eberflus did not provide specifics on the reason for Walker's dismissal, stating only that Walker did not meet the team’s “standards.”
  • Despite these setbacks and a poor season record (2-6), Eberflus insists there is no culture problem on his coaching staff and that their culture is 'awesome'.
  • Omar Young, the Bears’ assistant coach for quarterbacks and wide receivers, is set to take over for Walker as the running backs coach.
