GM says Bears don't view Justin Fields 'as a finger pointer'​

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles called an impromptu news conference Thursday to address the fallout from a litany of events at Halas Hall on Wednesday that began with quarterback Justin Fields expressing frustration over how he's being coached and ended with the sudden resignation of defensive coordinator Alan Williams.

Poles voiced support for coach Matt Eberflus and Fields, adding, "No one in our entire building, none of our coaches see Fields as a finger pointer at all."

"First and foremost, to hit it straight on, we have adversity right now," Poles said. "Slow start, 0-2, not where you want to be. We've dealt with life issues. We've dealt with injuries, and that's all real and that's a part of what we do and what we got to deal with.

"To make it really, really clear, I know the outside noise, but no one in our building is panicking. No one is flinching at any situations, not our owner, not our president, our head coach, not myself, none of our players. Everyone is focusing on solving the issues that we have so that we can be a better football team."

"When I listen to him and that whole deal, the majority of it was like, 'All right, I've gotta create this clarity, I've got to get better,'" Poles said of Fields' comments. "I thought he took ownership of everything. He didn't have to say anything about that. Our coaches are like, 'How can we make you better? How can we help you be successful?' And there's always that balance. No one took it personally. We all know we have a hand in our success and we want him to be successful and it takes everyone for him to be successful, including himself. I kinda thought he hit on all of that. It was no shock to anyone."

Sources: Alan Williams left Bears over inappropriate activity​

Alan Williams resigned as Chicago Bears defensive coordinator last week in part because of inappropriate activity, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Williams was not involved in any criminal activity, sources told Schefter, but the Bears' human resources department was part of the process that culminated in his abrupt resignation Wednesday.

A digital forensic search was conducted as part of Williams' resignation, according to sources, who added that such a process was part of the team's standard operating procedure.

Williams, 53, announced that he was "taking a step back to take care of my health and family." Both the Bears and Williams' lawyer said a report in Chicago of police activity at the team facility was inaccurate.

Just sayin': Alan Williams resigning changed from "taking a step back to take care of my health and family" to "inappropriate activity".

:lol:

Yeah, yesterday was the final nail in the coffin for his tenure in Chicago. I'd love to see him back-up Hurts for a year or two and get another shot with a better franchise

Fields has 4 TD passes, but the defensive coach with a shitty defense calls this vanilla run on 4th down. It's stuffed, Denver takes the lead on a field goal because his defense can't get a stop, then it's like "Okay Justin, go win it for us." I hope the Bears get him the hell out of Chicago.
