Former quarterback warns Bears about Thomas Brown

Thomas Brown was an unknown coach when he joined the Chicago Bears in January. Before 2023, he served as a position coach for the Los Angeles Rams, helping them win a Super Bowl in 2021. This inevitably led to greater opportunities elsewhere. Unfortunately, Carolina went downhill very quickly as their team bottomed out at 2:15. The offense struggled. As a result, Brown was fired along with the rest of the staff. Still, the Bears liked his pedigree and felt he could help them.

A few months later, Brown took over as offensive coordinator after Shane Waldron was fired. It was an exact replica of what happened in Carolina last year when he took over midseason. The first time didn’t go so well. Luckily, Brown seems to have learned from his mistakes. Chicago has nearly 800 yards of total offense over the last two weeks, with quarterback Caleb Williams posting a 99.9 passer rating. Some have started calling for Brown to take a look at head coach.

Former quarterback Dan Orlovsky warned the Bears. Either they work to keep Brown in Chicago or he will find success elsewhere. It’s clear they’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem.

Thomas Brown has already caught the attention of the locker room.

Several players, including Williams, have praised him at every opportunity. They have noted his “aura” of confidence and steady leadership. His ability to motivate guys is already evident. It is extraordinary how he has managed to reorganize the offense after the mess of the previous month. His overall charisma has drawn comparisons to guys like Mike Tomlin: tough, no-nonsense, disciplined and detailed.

The Bears haven’t promoted an assistant to head coach since 1972, when Abe Gibron got the job. After what turned out to be a low point in franchise history, they have since sought outside help. Could Thomas Brown be the one to end the drought? The Bears haven’t made any decisions yet, but it’s clear he has the attention of everyone in Halas Hall.
