## Bears QB Caleb Williams Reacts to Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron’s Firing: ‘I Don’t Get to Choose Decisions’
**Chicago, IL** – Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has expressed his thoughts on the recent firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, emphasizing that he has no say in such decisions.
### Statement from Caleb Williams
“I don’t get to choose decisions that are made within the organization,” Williams said in a press conference. “I’m a player, and my job is to focus on what I can control, which is playing to the best of my ability.”
Williams acknowledged that Waldron’s departure was unexpected, but he remains committed to the team’s goals. “It’s definitely been a transition, but I’m not going to dwell on it,” he said. “My goal is to be the best quarterback I can be for this team, regardless of who’s calling the plays.”
### Waldron’s Impact and Departure
Shane Waldron joined the Bears in 2022 after serving as the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks. Under his guidance, the Bears’ offense struggled mightily, ranking among the worst in the league in several key statistical categories.
The team’s decision to fire Waldron came after a disappointing 3-14 season. The Bears’ offense averaged just 18.3 points per game, the lowest mark in the NFL. Williams, who was acquired in a trade from the Los Angeles Chargers in the offseason, struggled to find consistency in Waldron’s system.
### Bears’ Offensive Future
With Waldron’s departure, the Bears are now tasked with finding a new offensive coordinator. Head coach Matt Eberflus has indicated that he is looking for someone who can “bring a consistent and productive offense to Chicago.”
Several potential candidates have been mentioned, including former Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni and current New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry. The Bears are expected to make a decision on their new offensive coordinator in the coming weeks.
### Williams’ Outlook
Despite the turmoil surrounding the Bears’ offense, Williams remains optimistic about the team’s future. “We have a lot of talent on this team,” he said. “I believe that we can be a playoff contender if we can put it all together.”
Williams is expected to be a key part of the Bears’ offense in the years to come. The 2021 Heisman Trophy winner has shown flashes of brilliance during his brief time in Chicago and is eager to prove himself as a franchise quarterback.
### Conclusion
The firing of Shane Waldron has created uncertainty within the Bears’ offense. However, quarterback Caleb Williams has made it clear that he is focused on his own performance and is not concerned with the coaching changes. The Bears are now tasked with finding a new offensive coordinator who can help Williams reach his full potential and lead the team to success.
