The 53-year-old coach Alan Williams, expressed his intention to return to the NFL after addressing his well-being.
Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams has announced his abrupt resignation, citing the need to prioritize his health and family
Speculation arose surrounding the departure, with rumors suggesting a connection to an undisclosed incident. Sports Talk Chicago’s Jon Zaghloul claimed that sources informed him of a raid at both Alan Williams’ residence and the Bears’ training facility, Halas Hall. Allegedly, Bears icon Charles Tillman, now an FBI field agent in Chicago, relayed this information to head coach Matt Eberflus.
However, the Bears swiftly denied reports of a raid at Halas Hall, a statement echoed by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. General manager Ryan Poles emphatically labeled any such claims as “completely false.”
There is consensus that Alan Williams’ home was, indeed, subject to a raid
Pat McAfee corroborated this on his show, emphasizing the gravity of potential allegations tied to such an event. While Alan Williams emphasized health and family concerns in his resignation, there is no indication that his recent work absence was linked to either issue.
The seasoned coach, with NFL experience dating back to 2001, had been in his second season as the Bears’ defensive coordinator, previously holding the same position with the Minnesota Vikings from 2012-2013.
