Walker, who is in his second season with the organization, follows former defensive coordinator Alan Williams as the second assistant coach to depart the Bears in the middle of the season.

Aside from setting themselves up for excellent 2024 draft selections, the Bears’ 2-6 record has been bad this season, but their odd coach turnover has made it much worse.

Walker, a Syracuse player originally from Rochester, has 26 years of coaching experience, according to the team.

He has worked as a running backs coach in the NFL with the Colts (2011–14) and the Lions (2016–18), as well as at the university level with Syracuse and Pittsburgh.

Walker, 53, began his career in the NFL in 2011 and remained the RB coach until 2014. He spent some time coaching high schools in Indianapolis before joining the Lions in 2016 as their RB coach, a position he held until 2018.

In 2022, Walker was hired by the Bears to teach running backs.

Last season, the Bears led the NFL and amassed the most running yards in team history.

Despite coping with injuries to starter running back Khalil Herbert and quarterback Justin Fields, the Bears rank sixth this season with 132.8 rushing yards per game.

As of early Wednesday morning, not much was known regarding Walker’s termination, but this is another difficult look for the company.

Matt Eberflus, the team’s defensive-minded head coach, handles defensive coordination duties in the absence of a defensive coordinator.
