This NFL season’s been wild, with coaches getting the pink slip left and right. If you’re not getting results, you’re out the door. Matt Eberflus is the latest to join the list. With the Bears closing doors on their three-year-long coach, new doors have opened for Thomas Brown.

After the three-point loss to the Detroit Lions, Bears fans have finally gotten what they’ve been wanting. The team’s head coach, Matt Eberflus, has been fired. The decision came after Eberflus said in the post-game conference that he would ‘figure it out’ in the next game. It looks like he no longer has to; it’s Thomas Brown’s responsibility now. Brown was signed as a pass game coordinator for the Bears earlier in January this year. After the Bears parted ways with Matt, they announced Brown as the interim head coach for the rest of the season. This has created quite a frenzy.

Brown has previously worked with the Panthers as an offensive coordinator and the Rams as a running back coach. “Becoming an offensive coordinator, a head coach, those were never my goals when I first started coaching”, said Brown back in 2022 when he was promoted to assistant head coach for the Rams. Fast forward to today, when he will be guiding the Bears as head coach for the rest of the season. Crazy! Just how fast the night changes. In Brown’s decade-long coaching career, one person has been constant: his wife, Jessica Brown, who has been with him even before his coaching days.

Jessica and Thomas have known each other since they were 14, both living in Georgia at the time. Being big football fans, they would watch the games on Sunday while talking on the phone with each other. The couple has now moved to Los Angeles, where they live in a luxurious home. Jessica runs her business in LA, while also looking after their three children, Orlando, Tyson, and Judah.

The couple, who have known each other since they were kids, likes to keep their lives off the cameras. Not much information is available about their kids either. But today, Jessica must be feeling so proud seeing her husband take on his new duties.

Can Thomas Brown help save Caleb Williams?

“Go be Superman at the end of the day,” Brown told the QB Caleb Williams during the game against the Vikings. The Bears QB has been under the radar in his debut season for not performing consistently. From analysts to fans, everyone’s been throwing jabs at him. Despite all the scrutiny, Williams has been showing signs of improvement, setting a record for consecutive passes without an interception in the recent game against the Lions. And he credits this improvement to none other than Thomas Brown.

Brown stepped in as offensive coordinator after the management fired Shane Waldron. And now, he’ll be serving as the team’s head coach. So, everyone’s wondering: can he help Caleb Williams finally settle into the NFL? Although the playoffs have slipped out of their hands, if the QB improves, it will shut down his haters at least. The 23-year-old will be looking up to him, so he has a lot of pressure on himself now. And it’s not just about helping Williams, considering the management has been firing people, his job is at risk here.

So, now all eyes are on Brown. Hopefully, Brown will meet everyone’s expectations. The Bears will next be facing the 49ers in December. If he helps the team secure wins in the coming games, there’s a chance the management might consider appointing him as head coach for the next season.
