Bears New Coach Ben Johnson Prioritizes Accountability for 2025 Season

The Chicago Bears are entering a new era under head coach Ben Johnson, who emphasizes accountability and leadership as the team begins its offseason program. Players, including star cornerback Jaylon Johnson and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, have noted a shift in energy and urgency, with Johnson's direct communication style marking a departure from last season's struggles under former coach Matt Eberflus. Despite the initial optimism, Jaylon Johnson expressed skepticism about celebrating until tangible results are seen in the season, emphasizing that hype alone does not lead to victories. As the team strives to establish its identity and a winning mentality, there is a collective focus on hard work and cohesion. The Bears are determined to transform their performance after a disappointing 2024 season marked by a 10-game losing streak. The atmosphere at Halas Hall suggests a renewed commitment to success as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
