The Chicago Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown is interviewing with the Seattle Seahawks to be their offensive coordinator.
The Seahawks fired offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb after one season. Seattle missed out on the 2024 NFL postseason, but has a very talented offense and is a desirable job for prospective play-callers.
Brown, who is a former Georgia Bulldogs running back, served as Chicago’s interim head coach after the Bears fired Matt Eberflus. Brown went 1-4 as the Bears’ interim coach.
The Bears hired Brown as their passing game coordinator, but they promoted Brown to their offensive coordinator role after they fired Shane Waldron. The Bears had an under-performing offense despite having a bunch of talent surrounding quarterback Caleb Williams, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
Brown has previous experience as the Carolina Panthers’ offensive coordinator in 2023. He was the Panthers’ play-caller for part (primarily the second-half of the season) of Carolina’s brutal 2-15 season.
Chicago interviewed Brown for their offensive coordinator role before the season before the Bears ended up hiring Brown as their passing game coordinator.
Brown served as an offensive assistant with the Los Angeles Rams under Sean McVay before coming to Carolina and Chicago. He is highly respected throughout the NFL.
Brown rushed for 2,646 yards and 23 touchdowns in his Georgia career from 2004-2007.
