Ben Johnson

ESPN’s Courtney Cronin writes the Bears are hoping to interview Lions OC Ben Johnson and Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury for their head coaching vacancy.

Interim coach Thomas Brown will also be considered and interviewed. The smoke tying Johnson to Chicago has already come on heavy after Matt Eberflus’ firing, with Adam Schefter reporting a belief that Johnson has interest in working with Caleb Williams. Kingsbury would be a more contentious pick as his passing offense has mostly backslid over the past month, but he does have experience developing good young quarterbacks.
