The Chicago Bears are signing Thomas Brown, a former Georgia Bulldogs running back, as their passing game coordinator.
Brown will be the Bears’ passing game coordinator under offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
Brown was the Carolina Panthers’ offensive coordinator in 2023. He was the Panthers’ play-caller for a period (mainly the second half of the season) during their disastrous 2-15 season. The Carolina Panthers’ head coach, Frank Reich, was sacked midway through the season. Following Reich’s departure, Thomas Brown helped keep the Panthers’ offense intact.
Thomas Brown will likely coach USC quarterback Caleb Williams, the expected top pick in the 2024 NFL draft. The Bears have a lot of assets, and their offense should improve by 2024. Chicago also interviewed Brown to be their offensive coordinator.
Brown worked as an offensive assistant for the Los Angeles Rams under Sean McVay before becoming Carolina’s offensive coordinator. He is well-respected throughout the NFL.
Thomas Brown is not the former Dawg to be part of the NFL’s coaching carousel. Mike Macdonald, a former Georgia Bulldogs assistant, is now the Seattle Seahawks’ head coach. As the Baltimore Ravens’ defensive coordinator, Macdonald led the team reach the AFC title game.
