Where do Caleb Williams, Bears go from here after Shane Waldron's firing?

The Chicago Bears have dismissed offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.

Now what?

Chicago is sitting at 4-5 on the season with a rookie quarterback on pace to eclipse 3,000 yards and score nearly 20 touchdowns, which is by far and away the best by a rookie quarterback in team history.

What's even more befuddling is that Williams has the second-best EPA per dropback on short and intermediate passes among quarterbacks with at least 100 dropbacks on the
