He's ( IMO) far from a Nagy but I really do get what you're saying and you're absolutely right about Nagy not adapting he really lost me when he ( Nagy) said he didn't come here to run the I formation...I was done with him after that showed he couldn't adapt and wasn't situationally sound!!@@cefb8923
I’m absolutely put at ease knowing the Bears are in amazing hands with Ben. Smart, articulate, considerate, self aware, strong conviction and confident!!
Unreal that after the season we just witnessed that I can’t wait for next season to start. I think the bears finally got it right. Salute to Ryan Poles and the organization for locking this hire down. This one truly feels different
I definitely like what I'm hearing and seeing from the new coach so far. Proof is in the pudding, though. I laughed when he quoted John Shoop and said "Your body and mind can handle a lot more than you realize". At 38 years old, he's right about that. Get back to me when you're 58.😂
I love how he mentioned how he self scouts his own offense every four weeks so he can change things up to confuse the other teams defense lol Does not want to be predictable
THIS COACH WASN'T BORN IN OUR 1ST AND ONLY SUPERBOWL.........HE KNOWS IF HE CAN TURN THIS DYSFUNCTIONAL TEAM AROUND, HE'LL WALK ON WATER IN CHICAGO.......
I'm not used to having such a well-spoken, highly intelligent human being as a Bears head coach! Although, he is unproven as a head coach, it's still exciting in regard to his offensive mind and I'm interested to find out how well he does and how far this all goes! The idea of big offensive numbers in Chicago will be exciting to daydream about until reality unfolds in September!
Lol, the honeymoon period of every hire is so funny. Then fastfwd to when we losing games and now the same people are questioning everything. RELAX, people wait for the wins before hes anointed the genius, guru, etc. Its been proven Chicago is a tough job to succeed and win a super bowl in.
It's strange for me to hear someone being complimentary of John Shoop. Those years felt pretty horrible here in Chicago watching that offense... I guess professional coordinators see this guy differently then us fans?
@@joeraguso5376 True. I don't remember the offensive team. I find after so many years of poor performances by Chicago I am a little jaded. I really hope this one works out lol.
Ben Johnson has hardly mentioned Defense in all these interviews, it's kind of important for the head coach. Notice no defensive Bears were at his introduction.
He did mention D in his introductory pc. He mentioned them here. I think you're reading too much into the fact that the leaders on offense were there to show their support. It sounds like he wants to get an experienced DC, but from what he said, he plans on being involved there as well.
@@WW3_Soon with one huge difference. Ryan and Ditka hated each other. Our defense did not seem to respect our offense, with the exception of WP. I don't see this being the case at all, but hey time will tell. I prefer not to think negatively. If that happens and we get a SB win. I won't cry about it
He mentioned defense in his press conference. He actually said he wasn't ready to be a head coach last year because he needed to learn more about the defensive side of the ball and now he feels more ready.
Anyone else loving we got the guy who most of us wanted...and yet terrified he's gonna be just another failed Bears coach? Having been a fan since '83 as a kid...I've see sooo many new coaches coming in talking about how we're gonna beat the Packers...
Don't skimp on the rest of the staff, get the best possible DC (established, aggressive, successful) an OC that is compatible with Ben, position coaches (Oline) (QB) that are the best at what they do!
Feels ominous him mentioning John Shoop so much during this media blitz. As a Bears fan, that name gives me PTSD and him mentioning Shoop so many times seems cursed.
I get we "fans" are going to find something nice and hopeful and something to call concerning ALL I wanted to hear about was that sieve of an offensive line, and I didn't OR did I miss it.?
Ben Johnson hasn't coached 1 game for us, never been a HC and doesn't have a SB as aN OC. We need to relax and wait and see. Don't build up hype like we did last offseason, before 1 game was even played, or end up like the matt nagy situation
Meh, we just signed the most sought after coach this off-season. When has that happened? Celebrate now and have expectations reasonable at the start of training camp/the season.
@@therealbububabathank you. Nobody is saying we're going 17-0. It's okay to be excited. I remember having to Google who Eberflus was after the hiring announcement
Ben Johnson, a creative play-caller under Dan Campbell's offense, can he be an HC? Maybe time will tell, still have the same GM who drafted Caleb Williams over Jalen Daniels.
caleb is better then jayden. stfu go somewhere else ur just hating bro. jayden has better coaching. he woulda look worse then caleb in this offense. stop
First his name is Jaden Daniels. Do you really think that Daniels would have had the same season with the Bears coaching staff and that offensive line? And for the same reason we don't know about Caleb yet.
This just cracks me up. Bears keep an obviously unqualified head coach around to save money and he literally makes their season implode. Not to mention the failure to significantly upgrade the O Line and Waldron as OC when Kingsbury was available. And now after that atrocious train wreck of a season where your young future star hopefully QB was wrecked physically and emotionally you’re all giddy about an OC as head coach. Yes he looks like a good OC for Caleb. Great. But he’s unproven as a HC and to me from what I’ve seen I’d say no. Head coaches have an EDGE. Vrabel, Sean McVay, even Shanahan. They have that look. Don’t f-k with me. And they’re not smiling all the time if rarely. Ben Johnson is not that dude. At least he doesn’t appear that way to me.
Every HC started as an assistant... McVay was a 30 year old OC and Shanahan was coming off the biggest choke job in SB history (something he's continued with the 49ers). I'll trust NFL executives who have offered BJ HC jobs for 3 straight years over this opinion.
Yeah you probably wanted McCarthy or Carroll... while every other team wanted BJ... Bears fans are the most entitled delusional moronic fan base in the league. The meatball analogy is not a meme its real. You guys got a rock solid coach after decades of mediocrity your front office finally got it right enjoy it and stop complaining.
It’s crazy to hear a Bears coach who is smart, well spoken, and down to earth. Seems like a great guy
Bullshot
Nagy was most of that but he really had a big ego and was stubborn to adapt which is basically everything as a coach.
@@cefb8923 this guy isn’t Nagy. Lets see what happens.
He's ( IMO) far from a Nagy but I really do get what you're saying and you're absolutely right about Nagy not adapting he really lost me when he ( Nagy) said he didn't come here to run the I formation...I was done with him after that showed he couldn't adapt and wasn't situationally sound!!@@cefb8923
I FULLY AGREE!
In all these appearances Ben just seems so personable. He seems very genuine, he doesn’t fall back on generic coach speak fluff
A Chicago Bears Head Coach talking about having fun is a new experience for me.
I’m absolutely put at ease knowing the Bears are in amazing hands with Ben. Smart, articulate, considerate, self aware, strong conviction and confident!!
I Also AGREE!
Thanks for having Coach Ben Johnson on... It's great to hear him talk...
So excited he is our coach.
I'm a Chicago Bears fan for life.🐻

Coach is on every media platform !!
Coach Johnson's favorite word so far: LISTEN
It’s better than “Ummm”
Also better then Flus saying "ALRIGHT"
@ I didn't say anything was bad about it. Just making an observation from all the interviews he's been doing
Strong word. Commanding the room.
My favorite Flus word was complimentaryfootball 😅
I definitely like what I'm hearing and seeing from the new coach so far. Proof is in the pudding, though. I laughed when he quoted John Shoop and said "Your body and mind can handle a lot more than you realize". At 38 years old, he's right about that. Get back to me when you're 58.😂
I am 58 too, and I know what you mean😂
I still remember shoop calling a 2pt conversion run with Rahan Salam right when 2 pt conversions were new and everyone was saying what a great call.
RIP RS
I like what I'm hearing. Now i jist want to see it on the field
Good things coming!!
Super excited
Love the interview - teeny thing, but it’s a THING - they straight YELLLLLLL into their mics lol
I love how he mentioned how he self scouts his own offense every four weeks so he can change things up to confuse the other teams defense lol Does not want to be predictable
I say it every year, but this time I really mean it: "This is our year!!"
Listen is his favorite word
sounds smart and confident. i mean i cant say that i can blame him. this past season should have way more wins than it did.
THIS COACH WASN'T BORN IN OUR 1ST AND ONLY SUPERBOWL.........HE KNOWS IF HE CAN TURN THIS DYSFUNCTIONAL TEAM AROUND, HE'LL WALK ON WATER IN CHICAGO.......
Bro, no need to SHOUT 🙄😂

He's him fr 🐻 ⬇️ fellas
I love “proper fundamentals of blocking” an area where CMO was inept
He doesnt seem like a guy that will forget to take a timeout.
The Bears have lacked competence in head coaching since Ditka. HOPEFULLY they got it right this time
Not giving lovie enough credit. He was solid...not ditkaesque...but solid
Lovie was competent enough to get us to an SB.
Lovie just couldn’t find a good OC…
It's strange for me to hear someone being complimentary of John Shoop. Those years felt pretty horrible here in Chicago watching that offense... I guess professional coordinators see this guy differently then us fans?
The big thing people forget is his players sucked when he was here too
@@joeraguso5376 True. I don't remember the offensive team. I find after so many years of poor performances by Chicago I am a little jaded. I really hope this one works out lol.
Finally a coach who talks like a normal human being
"Ryne, Ryne, Ryne!"
"Jew, Jew, Jew!"
bro looks like a C++ type of guy
Deloitte consulting
Virginia to George: "Win me a g*ddamn championship, son. Whatever it costs. No more effing around!"
Ben Johnson has hardly mentioned Defense in all these interviews, it's kind of important for the head coach. Notice no defensive Bears were at his introduction.
You know that is a good point. I hope they get the guy from the Saints and he just lets him do his thing.
He did mention D in his introductory pc. He mentioned them here. I think you're reading too much into the fact that the leaders on offense were there to show their support. It sounds like he wants to get an experienced DC, but from what he said, he plans on being involved there as well.
Sadly, this will be a divisive team just like Mike Ditka (offense) and Buddy Ryan (defense).
@@WW3_Soon with one huge difference. Ryan and Ditka hated each other. Our defense did not seem to respect our offense, with the exception of WP.

This was my biggest concern and it’s completely put to bed.
These guys make a living out of carving the bears up all season only to kiss @ss for an interview
Bear Down FGB Now Let's Get The Rest Of The Coaching Staff Right And Please Revamp The Offensive Line
Bearsss
He was born in 1986, actually... Good year 🐻👇
I love the Ben hire but SOSA needs to throw out the first pitch this year!
Mahb!
Anyone else loving we got the guy who most of us wanted...and yet terrified he's gonna be just another failed Bears coach? Having been a fan since '83 as a kid...I've see sooo many new coaches coming in talking about how we're gonna beat the Packers...

Feels ominous him mentioning John Shoop so much during this media blitz. As a Bears fan, that name gives me PTSD and him mentioning Shoop so many times seems cursed.
3rd and 18 - SHOOP: Let's call a bubble screen...
I thought Schoop was a failure in Chicago....
Complete failure. Not crazy about Ben Johnson "modeling" himself after the bum.
I get we "fans" are going to find something nice and hopeful and something to call concerning ALL I wanted to hear about was that sieve of an offensive line, and I didn't OR did I miss it.?
I like the new Coach but I get a little nervous about him praising John Shoop - probably the worst Offensive Coordinator in Franchise history.
If Ben Johnson was a talented head coach, he wouldn't neex to poach from the Lion's staff
Let’s be honest. It’s not this city it’s not this team it’s not the leadership. It’s the 13m a year
Yeah, but he would have gotten more elsewhere. Seems like he made this decision ahead of time.
@ Dallas offered 8

I don't believe in this guy
You don't have to, root for a team you believe in ...pretty simple!
Get on board sir.
Who cares!
He believes in you. Go get em
Nothing wrong with healthy skepticism. I think Ben is such a big upgrade from any coach we've had since Lovie, but time will tell.
This dude has been on every Sports Media/Podcast show in the last 2 days! You're a coach not a celebrity, Chill Out and get to work !!!
