Chicago Bears WR Keenan Allen said that now-former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron was 'too nice of a guy.'
The Chicago Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron after nine games in the wake of the team's three-game losing streak, during which the Bears' offense and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has struggled mightily. Why didn't it work out in Chicago for Waldron? Wide receiver Keenan Allen has a theory. 'I would say just probably he was too nice of a guy,' Allen said about why Waldron didn't last with the Bears on Wednesday, according to the Chicago Tribune.
' Allen, a six-time Pro Bowler who's in his first season with the Bears, has totaled 26 receptions for 241 yards and two touchdowns in seven games; he missed two games due to a heel injury. Allen has logged no more than five receptions and no more than 44 receiving yards in a single game this season. Chicago's offense is averaging just 169.6 passing yards , 108.1 rushing yards , 277.7 total yards and 19.4 points per game. Last season, Seattle averaged 230.0 passing yards , 92.
