Williams’ newcomer campaign was difficult as Bears left 5-12. He was fired 68 times (the third most in the history of the NFL) and the abusive manager of Shane Waldron and Matt Eberfl’s head coach each were fired during the period.
After 4-2 start, Bears 10 lost in a row for victory over the season at Archrival Green Bay Packers. Despite Waldron and Eberflus’s layoffs, Williams was never the belief that his worst fear was to be implemented.

At the end of the season, Williams threw 3,541 meters, 20 matches and six interceptions. At the top of the Ballyhooed ’24 draft category that saw a neighbor in the first round of team leaders Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix lead their team to the pursuit and Drake Maye drawing Rave reviews, Williams’ confidence remains indelible despite the hardships.

“That’s why I came here today to address this,” Williams said.
Although it is unlikely that this will be the last time Williams will be asked about his pre -game or upcoming book, he is looking for it along with Ben Johnson, his other head coach in as many seasons.
Williams is also hopeful of overcoming Bears QB’s snake past and eventually leading the restoration of Chicago after six consecutive years without victory.
“All these things, as I said, were thoughts, but the main goal and the main goal of being here is to turn (that) around,” said Williams. “That is why I was selected no.
