It seems as if Ben Johnson has ideas for how he wants the offensive side of his coaching staff to look. One would think a first-time head coach would want to surround himself with more experienced guys who have been in the trenches before. Not Johnson. The Chicago Bears' leader has taken an...
It became clear from the outset that new head coach Ben Johnson wasn't going to be a guy who sat back and let GM Ryan Poles make all the roster decisions. He intends to be fully involved in every step of the scouting process. Like any good coach, he has a specific vision for this team and needs...
The Chicago Bears believe they've found their head coach of the future. Ben Johnson is widely respected as one of the best offensive minds in the game. He should be able to help Caleb Williams ascend at quarterback. The next obvious step is working to fortify the roster for next season. Former GM...
You always get a sense of whether you made the right decision hiring a certain coach from how players react to it. The Chicago Bears learned this lesson the hard way last year when wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was asked about offensive coordinator Shane Waldron joining the team. He had worked...
Ben Johnson's first big coordinator move wasn't a surprise. He needed a proven defensive coordinator to complement his offense. Dennis Allen became his choice. The former New Orleans Saints head coach is widely respected for his defensive play-calling. Johnson saved his swerve for the offensive...
The Chicago Bears went 5-12. That is not good. Bill Parcells famously said you are what your record says you are. This suggests the Bears are a bad team. Now, obviously, such questions are complicated. While the product on the field might not be good, it doesn't mean the Bears lack the talent...
Whenever a new coaching staff comes in, the smart money to bet is on those coaches urging the front office to pursue certain players in free agency. Players they know and believe they can make good use of. One of the first things Matt Eberflus did upon taking over the Chicago Bears in 2022 was...
Ben Johnson knew the most important hire for his staff was the defensive coordinator. He would need somebody who could handle that side of the ball with lots of autonomy while he took care of things on offense. The name that surfaced almost immediately was Dennis Allen, the former New Orleans...
The Chicago Bears knew around Christmas that Ben Johnson was the guy they wanted for their next head coach. GM Ryan Poles had done exhaustive research into the Detroit Lions offensive coordinator going back several months. However, they understood that the interview process was important. They...
Dan Roshar was the first name to surface for the Chicago Bears' all-important offensive line coach position. He'd worked with Dan Campbell in New Orleans, and that is how new head coach Ben Johnson became connected to him. Until now, other names haven't surfaced, leading some to believe it's a...
The Chicago Bears have a chance to seriously upgrade the roster this off-season thanks to resources GM Ryan Poles has carefully hoarded over the past three years. He has eight draft picks, including four in the first three rounds. That will also include what was thought to be around $64 million in...
Ben Johnson knew he needed to assemble a strong coaching staff if he was going to get the Chicago Bears out of the mud. Few were more important than the defensive coordinator. Since he will be running the offense, Johnson would need somebody capable of basically running the defense by themselves...
