Kingsbury, who has experience working with Bears quarterback Caleb Williams from his time at USC, has shown some improvement in Washington but still faces criticism for his inability to maintain consistent offensive performance. The Bears are advised to hire an offensive-minded coach to closely work with Williams, rather than opting for a defensive coordinator who might leave if the offense succeeds.
