New Chicago head coach Ben Johnson didn't waste any time jumping into the Packers-Bears rivarly with his comments directed at Matt LaFleur.
During his introductory press conference on Wednesday, Johnson took a shot at Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. He was speaking about the NFC North's dominant run in the 2024 season where three of the four teams made the playoffs with at least 11 wins.
The Chicago Bears announced Tuesday that the team had reached an agreement with former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator to become the new head coach in the Windy City.
We don’t know whether Johnson will lead Caleb Williams and the Bears to great heights, but he feels like the right guy for a very big job.
The Chicago Bears have already swooped in on a Detroit Lions staffer, and are finalizing a deal to make OC Ben Johson the organization's next head coach.
Ben Johnson, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator, will be hired by Chicago Bears as head coach, adding further intrigue to NFC North.
The Lions have a big vacancy to fill on the coaching staff now that the season is over. That’s because offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is moving on from Detroit to become the new head coach of the Chicago Bears.
The Bears offer a chance to work with quarterback Caleb Williams, who had a promising rookie season after being picked No. 1 overall. In a late-season press conference before a game against the Bears, Johnson praised Williams’ arm talent and creativity as a quarterback.
Sloppy ends to games plagued the previous Chicago coaching staff and their new coach says he considers these situations a real strength of his.
General manager Ryan Poles called that a “great” compliment of the roster, but “also frustrating because of what happened.”
The Chicago Bears are hoping to move on from a tumultuous 2024 season that saw more than its fair share of dysfunction, both on the field and on the sideline. T
