The Bears have found their next head coach.
According to multiple reports, they are finalizing a deal with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to take over the reins of the team. Johnson talked to the team remotely during Detroit’s playoff bye and became eligible to move on to his new job after the Lions lost to the Commanders on Saturday night.
Johnson has been a hot head coaching candidate for the past few years, but passed up the chance to leave the Lions. The chance to work with quarterback Caleb Williams while staying within the familiar confines of the NFC North appears to have been enough of a lure to get him to move on.
Reports last week indicated that the Raiders were also looking at Johnson for their head coaching position, but Vegas will now have to go in a different direction as they search for Antonio Pierce’s successor.
