It needs to be a huge NFL Honors night on Thursday for the Bears even if they don't come away with the NFL Coach of the Year Award for coach Ben Johnson.
Both Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams talked about it as last season went on: it took a little time for the Chicago Bears’ dynamic head coach-quarterback duo to properly mesh.
The Chicago Bears got dealt a favorable hand of cards when it came to the number of assistant coaches that head coach Ben Johnson was forced to replace going into his second season.
The Chicago Bears had two big offensive coaching positions to fill this offseason after making the Divisional Round in the first season of head coach Ben Johnson’s tenure.

In his first season as the head coach of the Chicago Bears, Ben Johnson forced his way into the conversation of elite head coaches in the NFL. Johnson, who made his way to the Bears from the division rival Detroit Lions, led the team to being the No.
The Chicago Bears are coming off a fantastic season, one that far exceeded most predictions as the season got underway. The primary hope for the Bears was that first-year head coach Ben Johnson would be able to do two things in his first year.
The idea floated by The Athletic's Ted Nguyen regarding the Chicago Bears' offensive coordinator job is wild. As in, wildly unrealistic. Yet, still wild.
Bears coach Ben Johnson beat Packers coach Matt LaFleur twice as he promised. The two remain in competition into the offseason, apparently, because the first reported candidate for Bears offensive coordinator is a candidate for a Packers coaching staff position.

The Chicago Bears' 2025 season wasn't just a thriller for Bears fans. It was a league-wide source of entertainment, led by Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson, and at times made Chicago feel like America's city.
The Detroit Lions will face nine new offensive coordinators in 2026. That's just insane. One of the teams that they'll be facing with a new OC will be a team they play twice in 2026.
The Chicago Bears reshaped expectations following a 2025 season that finally seemed to get it right. After years of instability because of poor coaching hires and failed first-round quarterbacks, Chicago finally looked like a franchise with answers instead of questions.
The Chicago Bears had a successful season in 2025. Under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, they went from 5-12 in 2024 to 11-6 and NFC North division champions.
