“Ex-Georgia running back Thomas Brown anticipated to join coaching staff of the Chicago Bears.”
Former University of Georgia running back Thomas Brown is poised to step into a coaching role alongside the prospective No. 1 pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Reports indicate that Brown is set to join the coaching staff of the Chicago Bears as the team’s passing game coordinator. This move comes after Brown served as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers in the previous season.
Brown’s anticipated appointment in Chicago reunites him with Shane Waldron, the new Bears offensive coordinator, with whom Brown previously worked on the Los Angeles Rams staff.
While Brown’s tenure with the Panthers was marked by challenges, including a disappointing season and a coaching change mid-season, he continues to be highly regarded in NFL coaching circles. Despite the setbacks, Brown remains a sought-after coaching candidate, having been considered for head coaching positions with other teams in recent years.
Brown’s journey to becoming a prominent NFL assistant has been remarkable. Following his playing career as a running back at Georgia, he quickly transitioned to coaching, initially returning to his alma mater before moving on to various coaching roles at different universities. His coaching experience includes stints with NFL teams such as the Rams, where he contributed to their Super Bowl success.
In Chicago, Brown will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the Bears’ coaching staff and contribute to the development of their offense. While his time in Carolina may not have met expectations, Brown’s reputation as a skilled coach and his past successes indicate that he has much to offer in his new role with the Bears.
