Report: Bears fire John Fox after 3rd straight double-digit loss season
by Jack Browne from on (#3C4G9)
The Chicago Bears have fired head coach John Fox following a third straight season with a double-digit loss total, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The 62-year-old ended his tenure with a 14-34 record, including a 5-11 finish in 2017.
Fox led both the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers to Super Bowl appearances in previous head coaching stints, but wasn't able to accelerate the Bears' rebuild.
Chicago will look to hire an offensive-minded head coach who can push the development of rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky, added Rapoport, though Bears' current defensive coordinator Vic Fangio may be considered.
