Bears Fire OC Luke Getsy, Offer Major Hint on Justin Fields’ Future
The Chicago Bears just made three considerable coaching decisions that offer a major hint at quarterback Justin Fields‘ future with the organization.
On Wednesday, January 10, the team announced the firings of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, along with the departures of several other offensive position coaches. The Bears also announced that head coach Matt Eberflus, who has a background as a defensive mind in the NFL, will remain with the team in 2024.
“The #Bears are making staff changes, as offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and members of his staff have been fired, per me and @TomPelissero,” Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Wednesday. “Chicago now needs two new coordinators for 2024.”
Eberflus has been an outspoken proponent of Fields, both the player and the person. As such, the news that he will remain at the helm pleased supporters of Fields throughout the fan base, who voiced their delight boisterously on social media platforms.
However, Adam Jahns of The Athletic considered the scenario from a different angle — that the firing of Fields’ two primary coaches means he could be gone in the coming months as well.
“Firing Getsy and Janocko [may] be a signal that a change at quarterback could be coming, too,” Jahns wrote Wednesday. “The next offensive coordinator and QB coach will have input on draft evaluations — and the Bears have the first pick and USC’s Caleb Williams and North Carolina’s Drake Maye to consider.”
