The Chicago Bears have hired Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their new head coach. Johnson is expected to bring an innovative and aggressive offense to Chicago and help quarterback Caleb Williams reach his potential.

Johnson spent six seasons in the Lions organization and helped turn the team's offense into the league's top scoring unit. He will look to do the same with the Bears, who have struggled offensively in recent years.

The Bears hope Johnson can also stabilize their coaching ranks, which have been in flux in recent seasons. Chicago has hired seven head coaches since its last playoff win in 2010, and the team is the only one in the NFC without a divisional playoff appearance in the past 10 years.

The hiring of Johnson is a positive step for the Bears, and it will be interesting to see how he fares in his first season as a head coach.
