Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has been a hot coaching candidate for a few seasons now and is expected to once again be coveted by multiple teams this offseason. According to a report from ESPN’s Courtney Cronin, Johnson is “expected” to interview with the Chicago Bears, and per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Johnson is “intrigued” with what the organization has to offer.
The language surrounding both reports is purposely vague because Chicago can’t formally request to interview Johnson until the regular season concludes, but the implication is there that the two sides will eventually meet.
