Fox — 5-11 after Sunday’s 23-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings — never won more than six games in a season in Chicago and went 14-34 (.292) as the Bears coach.
Since Lovie Smith was fired after a 10-6 2012 season, the Bears have gone five seasons without a winning record.
When Chicago hired Fox in January 2015, it did so with a lot of optimism after he led the Denver Broncos to four consecutive AFC West titles.
But he never won a playoff game in Denver, leading to his departure from the Broncos.
Now, he leaves with second-worst winning percentage of any coach in the Bears’ hallowed history, behind only Abe Gibron, who had a .274 winning percentage.
Bears general manager Ryan Pace will lead the search for a new head coach. with Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio rumoured to be considered for a promotion.
