Ben Johnson is the new head coach of the Chicago Bears.
Whether or not he can translate his massive success as offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions into being a head coach is something we’ll have to wait and see to find out — because many great coordinators have tried and failed to be a head coach — but for now, the Bears believe they have their guy.
The Bears, arguably, got the most exciting young play-caller in the league to pair up with their No. 1 overall pick quarterback, Caleb Williams, and right now, the vibes are high.
In fact, while addressing a group of Bears employees at Halas Hall, Johnson made it clear that Chicago is exactly where he wanted to end up as a head coach.
“This is exactly where we wanted to be,” Johnson told the crowd. This is going to be a challenge. I’m well aware of that. I know what this division’s about, and this is exactly where we want to be.”
