Chicago Bears’ Ben Johnson joins some elite company after just one season

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Ben Johnson, Chicago Bears

Ben Johnson was one of the most coveted head coaching candidates for at least two hiring cycles, and more than lived up to the expectations in his first season as the Chicago Bears‘ head coach.

Turns out, landing in Chicago, where he had the opportunity to coach Caleb Williams, and instantly put his fingerprints on the roster from a personnel standpoint, wound up being an ideal destination for Johnson who is a Coach of the Year finalist after guiding the Bears to the NFC North Division championship and a playoff victory in his first season.

Over at ESPN, Bill Barnwell ranked every head coaching hire made this decade, so far, with Johnson making the list at No. 8 out of 37 overall.

“The prodigy,” Barnwell writes of Johnson. “Bears fans treated Johnson like a superstar addition when they landed the Lions’ offensive coordinator as their next head coach, and so far, he has generally lived up to the hype. There have been game management issues, especially early in the season, but Johnson quickly built one of the league’s best run games and helped refine quarterback Caleb Williams’ game.

“The Bears benefited from excellent timing and good fortune late in games in 2025, which might not stick around, but I’m not sure you can find a Bears fan on the planet who is upset with the decision to hire Johnson after one season.”

It’s easy to presume that Johnson is merely scratching the surface in terms of what he’ll be able to get out of Williams, as the former No. 1 overall pick continues to develop, and what the Bears’ offense has the potential to evolve into the more of Johnson’s personnel is in place and familiarity grows for everyone involved.

Regardless, the young core that the Bears have built around their head coach and quarterback duo have set the stage for Chicago to be a team on the rise, and it just comes down to Johnson getting the roster across the finish line.
