Bears to Hire Top Coordinator Ben Johnson as Head Coach to Develop Caleb Williams
Jan 20, 2025, 08:38 PM
The Chicago Bears are finalizing a deal to hire Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their next head coach, according to multiple reports. Contract parameters are in place, and Johnson is set to fly to Chicago soon. Johnson, regarded as the hottest offensive coordinator in this cycle and one of the league's most innovative play callers, will be tasked with developing quarterback Caleb Williams and building a system around him. Johnson reportedly chose the Bears over other opportunities, including teams with veteran quarterbacks like Tom Brady. The move keeps Johnson within the NFC North division, where he will now face his former team, the Lions, twice a year. Under Johnson, the Lions' offense ranked second in PFF Grade and EPA per play. His hiring is considered a significant step for the Bears as they aim to revitalize their offense and return to contention.
