The Chicago Bears are kicking off a crucial coaching search that’s got everyone in the NFL buzzing. With Matt Eberflus’ firing, the Bears now have a fascinating development in their team, marking the end of an era. What makes this even more interesting is that the Bears have a unique advantage—they’re ahead of the game in their coaching search while other teams are still focused on their current seasons. With interim head coach Thomas Brown stepping into the spotlight and high-profile candidates already being whispered about in NFL circles, the next few weeks promise to be filled with speculation, interviews, and potentially franchise-altering decisions.

NFL insider Adam Schefter just dropped a heads-up about Jared Goff’s Lions after the Bears are looking to snag one of Dan Campbell’s assistants following Matt Eberflus’ firing.

This Sunday, he posted on his X account, saying, “The Bears haven’t changed their coach in a hundred years. Everyone will be watching Ben Johnson, the Lions’ offensive coordinator, and I think he might have some interest in that job. We’ll see if they can convince him to come to Chicago.”

The latest buzz in Detroit as the Lions unveil their new offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson, ready to lead the charge! The Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator since 2022 and Dan Campbell’s assistant, Ben Johnson, is having a tremendous season. With an outstanding 31.9 points per game, the offense leads the NFL in scoring and is currently ranked second in yardage. His prospects of getting a head coaching position have increased because of his solid relationship with quarterback Jared Goff. After applying for a few jobs last year, he seems to have even greater possibilities.

Ben Johnson is one of the league’s best offensive minds, and it isn’t just about the stats. He might be a game-changer for the Chicago Bears. Their offense has great potential because of quarterbacks like Caleb Williams and skilled players like Moore, Romay Odunze, and D’Andre Swift. The Bears’ offensive inconsistency has been a significant problem this season, and the lack of rhythm frustrates supporters.

If Johnson is considering the Bears‘ coaching gig, the team has everything he needs. This season, he can take their offense to a new level. According to an NFL insider, Ben might be the most competitive prospect. When you thought the controversy was over, an NFL insider made some shocking revelations: another potential candidate who can take over the Bears’ HC position besides Ben Johnson.

Who are the top choices for the Bears’ coaching position?

Ever since Matt Everfous was fired, everyone’s buzzed about who might be the next HC for the Bears. Ian Rapoport on GameDay mentioned that several top candidates are being considered for the role. Rapoport also noted that the coaching search will likely be led by GM Ryan Poles, who is under pressure regarding the team’s future after Eberflus was let go.

But more names are surprising everyone, including fans. One name to look out for is former Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, an ex-offensive analyst at USC in 2023. With a proven track record of coaching standout QBs like Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, and Kyler Murray, he’s now a leading candidate to coach Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels.

Another strong contender is Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who works alongside Johnson. Under his guidance, the Lions’ defense ranks 11th in the NFL and is particularly good at stopping the run, allowing just 93.5 rushing yards per game. The Bears are struggling with their run defense, currently sitting at 25th in the NFL, highlighting a critical area for improvement if they want to enhance their performance.
