Bears hire Ben Johnson as new head coach

The Chicago Bears have finalized a deal to hire Ben Johnson, the former offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, as their new head coach. Johnson is expected to bring a creative offensive strategy after leading the Lions to the top of the NFL in scoring this past season. His hiring follows the Bears' disappointing 5-12 season and the mid-season firing of Matt Eberflus. As Johnson takes the helm, there are rumors that he may bring in Dennis Allen, the former Saints head coach, as his defensive coordinator, which could provide valuable experience to the rookie head coach. The move is seen as a positive step for the Bears, who aim to capitalize on the potential of quarterback Caleb Williams. Overall, this coaching shift is anticipated to energize the franchise and its fanbase for the upcoming season.
