Alan Williams looked somber in the first photos of the former Chicago Bears defensive coordinator following his mysterious resignation on Wednesday.
Williams emerged outside his home on Friday, when he was seen speaking with an unnamed man in photos obtained the The Post.
The 53-year-old wore a grey long sleeve shirt and jeans with a white Nike hat, while he appeared to be involved in a serious conversation with someone near a white vehicle.
Williams emerged two days after he resigned, citing his health and family issues following nearly a week away from the team.
The situation took a turn when rumors on social media claimed that the FBI had raided Williams’ home and the Bears’ facility, Halas Hall.
The Bears and Williams’ attorney, Andrew M. Stroth both denied that the facility was raided.
“I don’t have many details to add there. Halas Hall being raided is completely false. Don’t know where that came from,” Bears general manager Ryan Poles said Thursday.
“We’ve worked with [team president] Kevin [Warren] and [team chairman] George [McCaskey] and all our leadership to make sure we were handling it the right way, and everything concluded yesterday.”
Stroth told 670 the Score on Wednesday that there was “absolutely no criminal activity” involved.
“There’s no criminal allegations,” he said. “There’s been no raid on Halas Hall. None of that is true — unequivocally, [those rumors are] untrue … There’s no legal actions being taken against coach Williams.
“Coach Williams has a health challenge and he has some personal family matters, and he has decided with his family that he’s going to step away. . . . With much respect to the Chicago Bears, he decided to take a step back.”
In his resignation, Williams did express a desire to one day return to the NFL coaching ranks.
“I appreciate the opportunity to work with the Chicago Bears, a storied NFL franchise with a rich history,” Williams said in a statement.
Williams has worked as a defensive coach in the NFL since 2001 with the Buccaneers, Colts, Vikings, Lions and Colts, and joined the Bears in 2022.
The 0-2 Bears visit the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs on Sunday, with head coach Matt Eberflus expected to take over the defensive play-calling.
