Ben Johnson was the NFL's hottest coaching candidate. So, what does his hiring mean for the Bears, Caleb Williams and the rest of the NFC North? We examine Chicago's huge move and what might be next.

Williams recently described his ideal coaching candidate during an appearance on the St. Brown Podcast, using the terms “strong-minded” and “leader of men.” He also said that he “selfishly” would like to see the Bears hire a coach with an offensive background.

Following a protracted search, the Chicago Bears hired former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their next head coach. Johnson was considered arguably the single-best candidate on the market, and landing him is a coup for a Bears franchise that has desperately needed an injection of some kind of life for quite some time.
