Alan Williams is no longer the Bears’ defensive coordinator. In a statement, he announced on Wednesday that he had decided to leave his position.
“It is with great regret that I am resigning as defensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears, effective immediately,” he said. “I’m taking a step back to take care of my health and my family. […] I plan to come back and coach again. »
Williams had been the Bears’ defensive coordinator since last season. He missed the game lost against the Buccaneers in the second week.
In 2022, the Bears defense has conceded the most points in the entire league.
Head coach Matt Eberflus is expected to call defensive plays until further notice.
