Not Bill Belichick: Super Bowl champion could coach Caleb Williams, Bears

The Chicago Bears are on the hunt for a new head coach for the 2024 NFL season, and a Super Bowl-winning coach—though not Bill Belichick—might be poised to lead Caleb Williams' team next year.

A few days ago, the Chicago Bears parted ways with Matt Eberflus. Now, the team is seeking a new head coach, and a Super Bowl champion is reportedly ready to take the job and guide Caleb Williams in the 2025 season.

Earlier this year, the Bears selected Caleb Williams with the 1st overall pick. He is widely regarded as a generational talent who could finally become the franchise quarterback Chicago has long been searching for.

However, there was a major issue for the team. Williams lacked a top-tier coach to mentor him, and this absence significantly affected his performance during his rookie season.

Super Bowl champion could coach Caleb Williams and the Bears

For many analysts, Caleb Williams has the potential to be the transformative quarterback the Bears desperately need. Notably, the NFC North team has never had a signal-caller throw for over 4,000 yards in a single season, which has long been a glaring problem.

Recently, the Bears decided it was time to part ways with Eberflus. While Thomas Brown currently serves as the interim head coach, reports indicate Chicago is targeting a high-profile coach to help Williams realize his potential next season.

Some fans speculated that Bill Belichick might return to the NFL to coach the Bears. However, reports suggest that another Super Bowl-winning coach, one familiar with the NFC, could be a more likely candidate for the job.

Who is the Bears’ all-time passing leader?

As noted earlier, the Chicago Bears have never had a quarterback who surpassed 4,000 passing yards in a single season. They hope Caleb Williams can eventually achieve that milestone, though it may not happen this year.
