Breaking: Report: Bears set to hire Ben Johnson as their new head coach


by - Senior Editor -

The Bears got their man.

According to multiple reports, the Chicago Bears are set to hire Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson on Monday.

This was the No. 1 candidate for most Bears fans, as Johnson was an impressive candidate among the exhaustive list that the Bears interviewed.

"It's been really cool to watch,” Williams said recently when asked about Johnson. “During our games, I would sit back and just kind of watch and try to learn something while I watch. It was fascinating to watch because he always has wrinkles for counters and things like that throughout the game. I think he's obviously done really well. It would be cool to see how that all goes down."

The Bears are expected to hold a press conference later this week to officially introduce Johnson to Chicago.

Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
