On January 19, 1993, he was hired as the head coach of the Chicago Bears replacing legendary coach Mike Ditka. Wannstedt's tenure at Chicago was tumultuous. He led the Bears to only one postseason appearance in his 6 years at Chicago and compiled a 41-57 record. After posting back-to-back 4-12 seasons, Bears owner Michael B. McCaskey fired Wannstedt on December 28, 1998, a day when five NFL head coaches (one sixth of the league) lost their jobs.
