The Chicago Bears have requested an interview with Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, making him the betting favorite for the head coaching position. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who observed Johnson's offense in action this season, expressed admiration for Johnson's ability to get playmakers in space and execute game plans.
Right now, the betting favorite to be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears is Detroit Lions ' offensive coordinator Ben Johnson .Before Monday, it felt like there was a back-and-forth between Johnson and the Bears' front office through different reports, such as Johnson saying he was looking for alignment between coach and front office and the Bears saying they wanted a "leader of men."On Monday, however, the two are no longer hypothetically dancing.
In a high-profile game, Johnson's offense engineered four touchdowns. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored all four. It wasn't the first time Williams watched Johnson's offense."Even watching last night knowing kind of what they are going to be in certain situations and being able to go out there and execute and engineer," Williams said. "In our game, I'd just kind of sit back and just kind of watch and try to learn something while I watch.
