The Bears have found their next head coach.
According to multiple reports, they are finalizing a deal with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to take over the reins of the team. Johnson interviewed with the team remotely during Detroit’s playoff bye week and he became eligible to move on to a new job after the Lions’ loss to the Commanders on Saturday night.
Johnson has been a hot head coaching candidate for the last couple of years, but he passed on opportunities to leave the Lions. It seems the opportunity to work with quarterback Caleb Williams while remaining in the familiar confines of the NFC North was enough of a lure to get him to move on.
Reports last week indicated that the Raiders were also pursuing Johnson for their head coaching vacancy, but Vegas will now have to move in a different direction as they look for Antonio Pierce’s successor.
The Chicago Bears are reportedly finalizing a deal to hire Ben Johnson as their new head coach. Johnson, who previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, is known for his innovative offensive schemes and ability to develop young quarterbacks.
This move comes after the Bears parted ways with former head coach Matt Nagy following a disappointing season. Johnson’s hiring is seen as a bold and potentially game-changing move for the franchise, as they look to revamp their offense and compete in a tough NFC North division.
Fans are eager to see how Johnson will utilize the Bears’ talented roster, including star quarterback Justin Fields, and if he can lead the team back to playoff contention. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story. #BearDown #NewCoachInTown
