On Tuesday, the Chicago Bears officially announced former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their next head coach. Johnson was one of the most sought after candidates in this year's cycle and now lands his first head coaching gig in what has been an impressive last few seasons as OC.

The Chicago Bears hired Ben Johnson as their new head coach, and the former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator is already busy building his staff. There have been several reports indicating the Bears are zeroing in on Dennis Allen as defensive coordinator and are eyeing Darren Rizzi for special teams coordinator (follow along with our rumors tracker).
