Green Bay Packers: Rival Hires Ben Johnson As Head Coach
The Chicago Bears have hired former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their newest head coach.
The rumors of Johnson going to the Bears have circled all year, and it has finally come true. Matt Eberflus was fired midway through the rocky Chicago season, and Johnson was the top pick to be the next head coach.
This hiring comes after the Lions choked in the divisional round against the Washington Commanders by a score of 45-31. Dan Campbell loses the firepower of Detroit’s offense for two great seasons.
The Fit
Caleb Williams has had high praise for Ben Johnson and his coaching capability, and the pair will try to bring the Bears from years of gloom.
Johnson’s playbook and presence catapulted the Lions into their dominance. Matt Eberflus was a defensive-minded coach and it simply didn’t work for Chicago.
