This looks ugly. I hope it isn't.
The Chicago Bears are now without their Defensive Coordinator.

UPDATE: Whatever is happening – or not – in relation to Chicago Bears Defensive Coordinator Alan Williams and activities at Halas Hall today, one bit of firm news: Williams is out.
Williams issued a statement in conjunction with his resignation, citing the need to step back and take care of his health and his family:
Whatever is going on with Williams and those around him, all you can do is hope there is a positive outcome in the end. It has been an extremely unusual few days.
Importantly, as it relates to the original report on Twitter, the Bears have denied that Halas Hall was raided by authorities:
Whatever informed the original report, according to the Bears, it was not accurate. More updates coming as necessary, as this remains a bit of a mysterious and fluid situation.
original post follows
Earlier today, Chicago Bears Head Coach Matt Eberflus indicated that
he had no update on the status of Defensive Coordinator Alan Williams, who was away from the team this weekend when they traveled to Tampa. Notably, Eberflus wouldn’t even confirm that Williams was still employed by the Bears. So you already knew something serious was going on, even if
the particulars weren’t available.
Vague reports are leaking out today, however, about just how serious this situation might be. It was circulating widely enough, and the situation is unusual enough, that we wanted to note it here and update as necessary:
I won’t speculate on what’s going on, but if it’s accurate that Williams’ home AND Halas Hall were raided by authorities, you can safely assume this is very, very serious. We’ll see if the reporting here proves to be correct, but it seems clear that something atypical is happening. (
SEE UPDATE: The Bears have denied this report.)
More coming soon, I expect, as more information becomes available.
