New Bears head coach Ben Johnson fields questions after introduction

[@Nighthawk-8050]

I'm not going to predict wins and losses, but i will say listening to this young man i like what i hear.

[@brettzimmerman4566]

Same, he's tougher than I thought, I like that.

[@clubmogambo3214]

I'm with both of you. Way too difficult to predict a specific record, but what's important here is will this man as HC help change the culture of this club and to me the answer is a definitive yes.

[@davemeers37]

Agreed he is a first time HC he’ll have bumps but I like his approach not trying to force Caleb to work his scheme but tailoring his offense to fit Caleb

[@chrisduzan595]

He Nervous! It's to be expected... I didn't think this much tho

[@trevorlacroix8494]

Chicago, you guys got a good one here. Such a loss for us in Detroit and even though I know Ben is full of integrity, I still can't see him in those colors without cursing his name!! I'll get there. Good luck

[@davemeers37]

Trust me as a bears fan it took me a LONG time to be comfortable seeing Montgomery in a lions uniform now the real test is can Campbell rebuild his staff but this is what winning brings McVay and Shanahan regularly have their staffs poached for HC positions

[@frippertonics6421]

Welcome to Chicago, Coach Johnson!

[@Ravenpicks]

Chicago Welcomes Ben Johnson! He has a good attitude and Good Luck to him.

Much Better Coach. Good Luck next season Chicago Bears.

[@JulieSopko-i2c]

Discipline and maturity is needed so that we don’t have another ‘ hail Mary’ loss and the other mental mistakes because players aren’t paying attention!

[@robertmasina7388]

As a fan of the Bears, realistically I'm not expecting a one man miracle worker.

[@Hectrev08]

Neither is he.

[@clubmogambo3214]

It's a process. The key tho is this the guy we feel will help change the culture of this organization, and to me the answer is a big yes.

[@jamesallen4259]

No matter what... gotta love the no nonsense and the we can and WILL do anything mentality we don't go on the field the play the other team were playing against ourselves... love it!!!

[@clubmogambo3214]

12:48 - "We're always going to be attacking on offense." This is of course a long, excellent Q&A session, but if there was one line from Ben that stood out to me the most it was the one I quoted here.

[@PabloPyrex]

Tons of sacks taken and picks thrown I can't wait

[@percycliffordpayne3283]

Great OBSERVATION!

[@lucidlahey]

Like the people saying he's a good coach before he has 1 game at hc. Same people saying caleb was the only missing piece. Then Ben added pressure with the mlf comment.

[@kennethnesbit8775]

I remember Phill Parcells New H.C. of Dallas. He looked at about 25 undrafed players in camp . Drafted Demarkas Ware and Markas Speers.

As a lions fan i think he might be in over his head guys. We shall see. Best of luck

[@Xycomm]

Why don’t you be a little more grateful to the guy for giving you 3 seasons of greatness for the first time in your franchises sad ass history. It’s not his fault your defense can’t stop the commanders from scoring and gave up 45 points.

[@blkreign4784]

I think he’s going to be fine, it’s that caleb kid that’s not to be trusted! I think he’s a fraud but hopefully he’s not

[@frankrobbins8508]

It's his fault for rushing a top tier RB only 14x against an atrocious commanders run defense. It's his fault for going empty backfield on the 17 yrd line on 3rd and 1 despite having an absolute stud at running back. It's his fault for asking the world's most immature wide receiver who has shown he is incapable of high level thinking and good decision making to throw a pass in the biggest most pressure filled moment of his life. These were absolutely terrible game time decisions. The defense was literally 3rd-6th stringers. ​@@Xycomm

There ain’t NO WAY George could give anyone confidence. 🤥

[@RoyFoxJr]

Yeah, you should have been more focused on the game ahead of you instead of interviewing for a head coaching job. The NFL should not have let anyone interview for a head coaching job until their team is eliminated from the playoffs.

[@Nighthawk-8050]

Times have changed.

[@robo60616]

Good luck buddy!

[@RaymondArenas-p6k]

Will we have a Solid Running Game to wear down our opponent’s defenses to take pressure off Caleb QB’s throwing 50 passes in a game?

[@RaymondArenas-p6k]

Will we have a combination of a running & passing game backfield similar to Andy Reid Chiefs offensive play calling? 😡

[@RaymondArenas-p6k]

Will the Chicago Bears be a better Condition Team from injuries and players lost? 🤬 FYI: Make the playoffs and it’s a long season!!

[@RaymondArenas-p6k]

Dennis Allen coaching the Bears Defense. He has an excellent resume!! Is Coach Allen going to be the same or different type Defensive Coordinator🤔?

[@RaymondArenas-p6k]

[@primafacie9721]

I try not to 'read a book by the cover', but Eberflus did not appear to me to be a dynamic and decisive leader. Turns out I was right. Johnson appears to be confident and competent. Let's hope the Bears' "brain trust" finally got one out of it's last 5 coaching hires right.

[@richardpierce7819]

My question is , will ownership stay out of Bens way and let him get the Bears back to winning football. We'll see.

[@frankrobbins8508]

He will help turn it around there, but he has shown he cant win big playoff games. Rushing an elite RB 14x against an opponent who has the 3rd worse run defense in the league speaks volumes. Thanks for helping turn it around here, you earned your new HC job and i wish you well.

[@alld33z20]

Sometimes you have to fail bro and learn from the mistakes, to succeed! Look at Andy Reid couldn’t get it done in Philly now he’s a 3x champ. Dan Quinn’s recipe in Washington rn is going great for a rookie. He failed in ATL

[@frankrobbins8508]

That's sometimes true as well, without a doubt. ​@@alld33z20

14:18 ik he didn't just say complementary football.... as a bears fan those two words CANNOT give me more PTSD.....

It means we run the damn ball and actually have a play action set up for Caleb. Why would that give you ptsd we need complementary football on offense
