Thomas Brown

Bears named Thomas Brown as their interim HC.

Brown knows how to climb the corporate ladder. Just 17 days after being named as the Bears’ interim offensive coordinator following the firing of Shane Waldron, Brown is now poised to take over as the Bears’ interim head coach with Matt Eberflus now gone. In three games as the Bears offensive coordinator, Brown head the team averaging 22.0 points per game and 363.3 yards per game — both totals are above the team’s average for the season. He’ll now have five weeks to show what he can do as a head coach, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Bears fully gut the operation and rebuild its staff from the ground up.
