The Chicago Bears are actively searching for a new head coach after parting ways with Matt Eberflus earlier this season. A significant draw for prospective head coaches is the opportunity to lead last year's No. 1 overall pick, Caleb Williams.
Among the candidates linked to the position is Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who has developed one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL. Despite being in high demand over the last couple of years, Johnson has chosen to remain with the Lions, but interest from the Bears may change that.
This past Sunday, Johnson's offensive strategies were on display as the Lions managed to score 31 points against a formidable Vikings defense. Williams expressed admiration for Johnson's tactical approach, highlighting his ability to adapt during games. While the Bears have talented players, they lack the depth and star power of the Lions' roster. This raises questions about whether hiring Johnson alone would resolve Chicago's offensive challenges.
