Alan Williams is the new defensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears, coming with high praise from his time with the Indianapolis Colts: ‘Alan has really good command of the whole picture’

It’s a role Williams, 52, has held before — for two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings in 2012 and 2013. But that stint wasn’t spectacular. The Vikings went to the playoffs in Williams’ first season overseeing the defense, winning 10 games while finishing fifth in the league in sacks, 22nd in takeaways, 16th in total yards allowed and 14th in points allowed.
