Chicgao Bears
Ben Johnson set to become Bears HC
Oversaw top-five offense in his three years as Detroit OC
By: Doug Orth | Jan 20 2025, 5:00 pm

Bear down: Chicago is finalizing a deal to hire Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as its next head coach, sources tell ESPN. Bears are getting their man. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)

FFToday's Take: The Bears have only had two offensive-minded head coaches since Mike Ditka was fired following the 1992 season and both of those hires - Marc Trestman and Matt Nagy - worked out poorly. It is hard to imagine Johnson going down that same road. Not only has he established himself as one of the most creative offensive minds in the league, but he will begin his Chicago tenure with a blue-chip quarterback prospect (Caleb Williams) and at least two stud receivers (D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze). Williams, in particular, should enjoy the creativity and consistency Johnson will bring to the team. Do not be surprised if Williams is a low-end fantasy QB1 as soon as next year.
