When it comes to a job well done coaching in the NFL this year, the Bears can look up at the top team in their division (and NFC): the Detroit Lions. Whether it be head coach Dan Campbell, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, or defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, the Lions have three premier coaches all doing a remarkable job this season.

Throughout the NFL season, numerous reporters and analysts named Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as the favorite to become the next head coach of the Chicago Bears, in part because Chicago has a promising young quarterback in 2024 rookie Caleb Williams.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson reportedly could return for another year if he does not like the head coaching openings.

After the report came out, Bears' quarterback Caleb Williams conducted a press conference to wrap up his rookie season in the NFL. He was asked about Johnson, and the quarterback gave an honest answer. Williams got a sideline view of Johnson's offense for two games this season.

It sounds like Ben Johnson is open to working with Ryan Poles, which could have long-term implications for the Bears' GM.

The Bears will meet virtually with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson on Saturday for their head coach job.

One potential candidate to replace Ben Johnson as offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions has been receiving league-wide interest, potentially at a head coaching job.
