Another Chicago Bears player drops insight on what went wrong with Matt Eberflus

When asked about what the current coaching staff is like, Johnson said that the staff is “loud and aggressive”. Johnson said that his new head coach has set a “certain tone” for the team.

The very interesting part was when Johnson was asked about the different feel that the new coaching staff brings to the team:

“I don’t feel like this is gonna be a staff where we can try to blame it on somebody else and things like that. It’s going to be real cleared up and cleaned up for us and we gotta go out there and win.”

It seems Johnson could very well be taking a shot at his former coaching staff right here. The biggest flaw with Eberflus and the previous regime was the lack of accountability. Eberflus and his staff failed to hold themselves and other players accountable multiple times during the 2024 season.  The former head coach rarely owned up to the coaching mistakes he made throughout his tenure as Bears head coach. This seemed to be a major issue that many Bears players opened up about, including Johnson.

It seems that this will be the exact opposite with Ben Johnson commanding the team.

The new coaching staff has set a very high standard in Chicago. Hopefully, it can lead to some winning football in a couple of months.
