THE Chicago Bears Prepare for a new era with the head coach for the first time Ben Johnson after a disastrous season from 5 to 12 years old who led to the dismissal of Matt Eberflus after Thanksgiving.
After a promising 4-2 start, Eberflus sealed his fate in a week 8 again Washington Commanders This led to a hail loss. To make matters worse, Eberflus publicly defended his decision not to call a dead time in the last two documents that led to the defeat of 18-15.

“How [Eberflus] I managed it at that time, for this game, I was thinking, one of the things that the locker rooms talked about and were bored, “said Williams in an interview with Squirevia the Chicago Sun-Totes.
Unfortunately, this Mary’s hail loss was not low. The Bears continued to lose 10 consecutive games, including blowing matches against the Green bay packers,, Vikings du Minnesota And Detroit lions Due to training for professional misconduct. Throughout all this, there were cloakroom problems due to the lack of responsibility among coaches, including the way in which the former attacking coordinator Shane Waldron, who was dismissed after nine games, had to be invited by the players by playing them stronger.
The last nail in the Eberflus coffin was an embarrassment for Thanksgiving, where he did not call a delay which led to a loss against the Lions. The next day, Eberflus was relieved of his duties. It was the first time that the Bears had pulled a head coach in the middle of a season.
It was a situation far from ideal for the choice n ° 1 Williams, which played behind the worst offensive line which allowed a summit of 68 bags, while playing for two different head coaches and three different offensive coordinators. But with hindsight, Williams thinks that his chaotic recruit season has been beneficial.

“I think these losses were important enough for me and my growth,” said Williams. “To make a sequence of defeats, to be in this position and to be in the head, was definitely important for me. I’m just able to see how I have to be when the times are bad … I will work my tail so that I never be in this situation again. “
Although Johnson has not yet trained an NFL game, there is already a feeling and a belief in the locker room, and among the fans, that he can be the guy to finally change things. Johnson’s hiring as a chief coach is a decisive decision which also means that the development of Williams is of the utmost importance.
