Interim Bears coach Thomas Brown lost more than 20 pounds after staff shakeup

Interim Bears coach Thomas Brown didn’t anticipate his weight loss journey to be this dramatic.
During a press conference Wednesday, Brown explained that he dropped more than 20 pounds — going from 225 pounds down to 203 — since he took over for fired head coach Matt Eberflus on Friday following a loss to the Lions last Thursday, Chicago’s sixth straight defeat.
It’s been a hectic three-week span for Brown, who went from getting promoted from passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator with the Nov. 12 firing of Shane Waldron to being elevated to head coach on Nov. 29.
Brown said he started a weight loss journey in early November, but wasn’t having luck shedding pounds until he felt the weight of his new role.
“The major change, the [players] probably don’t know … I was trying to go on a weight loss journey about 20 days ago and I couldn’t lose weight at all,” Brown said. “I was about 225 [pounds] the morning of the announcement of being the (offensive coordinator).
