He resigned, amid rumors, only two games into the second season with last week's game taken over by head coach Matt Eberflus.

Social media speculated that the reason was because the FBI raided the Bears' practice facility and Williams' home.

Quarterback Justin Fields previously also indicated that the coaches were giving him too much information causing him to not trust his instincts.

Williams' Attorney Andrew Stroth and the Bears' VP of communication Faber denied these rumors. Fields also said his comments were taken out of context.

Williams, 53, has over three decades of coaching experience and the Bears hired him in February 2022.
