Thomas Brown Leads Chicago Bears as Interim Coach After Midseason Shakeup

Brown aims to end the Bears' six-game losing streak while balancing head coaching and play-calling duties, with a focus on accountability and quarterback development.

Thomas Brown, recently promoted to interim head coach, is tasked with stabilizing the Chicago Bears following Matt Eberflus' dismissal after a 14-32 record over 2.5 seasons.
Brown has been praised by players and leadership for his clear communication, energy, and focus on accountability, which has brought renewed optimism to the team.
The Bears have implemented changes to improve game management under Brown, with new offensive coordinator Chris Beatty taking a more active role in clock and situational management.
Quarterback Caleb Williams has shown improvement under Brown’s leadership as a play-caller, with no interceptions in six games and enhanced late-game performance.
The Bears face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, marking Brown’s first game as head coach, with players rallying behind his leadership and vision for the team.
