New Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is busy assembling his coaching staff, which already includes a big hire in Luke Getsy as offensive coordinator. Now, Eberflus has found his defensive coordinator in a familiar face.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bears are hiring Alan Williams as their defensive coordinator. Eberflus told reporters earlier this week that he won’t be calling plays, which means Williams will have play-calling duties on defense.
Williams boasts 20-plus years of NFL coaching experience, where he’s served primarily as a defensive backs coach. He’s coached defensive backs in Indianapolis (2002-11), Detroit (2014-17) and with the Colts again (2018-Present). Williams does have prior defensive coordinator experience having served as Minnesota’s DC from 2012-13.
