The Sad and Good news, Key Bears offensive pieces set return .

CHICAGO (CBS) — After another inconsistent season from the Chicago Bears offense, the team has fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, and wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert.

The firings were confirmed by CBS Sports senior NFL insider Jonathan Jones. Getsy’s exit marks the Bears’ most drastic offensive staffing change since 2022, when Eberflus took over as head coach.

Under Getsy, while the Bears ranked 2nd in the NFL in rushing yards per game this past season, they ranked only 27th in passing yard per game, with 182.1, after finishing Getsy’s first season in 2022 last in the NFL in passing yards per game, with 130.5.

Getsy’s ouster likely signals head coach Matt Eberflus himself will return for the 2024 season, after the Bears finished 7-10 in 2023, but Getsy’s firing but leaves the Bears needing to hire both new offensive and defensive coordinators for next season. Eberflus called plays for the defense most of the season in 2023, after former defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned in September.

Team president Kevin Warren was noncommittal when asked about the future of the staff prior to the Bears’ regular-season finale, saying club leadership is “continually” evaluating “big-picture” plans. However, Eberflus will again lead Chicago in 2024.

The Bears also still have a decision to make at quarterback, after Justin Fields failed to cement himself as the long-term solution. Fields still has another year remaining on his rookie contract, and the Bears have until May to decide if they will exercise a fifth-year option for 2025, but they also hold the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, giving them their pick among top prospects Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels.

In two years with Getsy as the offensive coordinator, the Bears failed to register better than a top-15 finish, ranking 31st in points scored in 2022 before improving to 19th in 2023. Fields found mixed results as his QB, thriving as a runner and gradually improving as a passer but also missing time due to injury and struggling to control the ball. Prior to joining Chicago, Getsy served as the Packers QBs coach and pass game coordinator from 2020-21.

The Bears are expected to hold a news conference later on Wednesday to discuss the coaching staff changes.
