The Chicago Bears are in shambles staring down an 0-3 record and active 13-game losing streak, where head coach Matt Eberflus’ seat is scorching.
Eberflus, in his second season, has a 3-17 record as head coach, and there’s a belief the Bears could move on from Eberflus after this season. Especially if things continue to spiral.
Buy Bears TicketsWhile Eberflus hasn’t been fired (yet), Bears fans made it clear who they want to replace him: Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
Detroit’s offense had its way with the Packers during the first half of their Thursday Night Football game — scoring 24 points and counting — where the offense has been efficient, creative and productive. Everything Chicago’s is not.
As you can imagine, there are plenty of Bears fans ready to anoint Johnson the team’s next head coach. Here’s a look at the fan reaction on Twitter (X):
I would hire Ben Johnson tomorrow if I was the Bears.

There’s so many good options for the Bears to go after this off-season like Ben Johnson or Kellen Moore or Shane Waldron…there’s no way you can logically stay with Flus

Ben Johnson will remain my top candidate at HC for the Bears next year. Bears will inevitably hire some old retread. But Johnson is the best candidate.

i fully appreciate wanting ben johnson to fix the bears but is there any precedent for hiring a division rival coach as head coach?

I’ve had enough. Give me Ben Johnson as HC of the #Bears, Draft Caleb Williams #1, Marvin Harris Jr. #4, Draft a C and an OG, sign/draft some DE/DI guys and then the Bears will be all the way back

Ben Johnson plz save the bears
— BD (@BearsDeprived) September 29, 2023
the way it is going now, Ben Johnson will be head coaching a brand new, completely overhauled Bears staff next year with Caleb leading his offense.

Ben Johnson: future head coach of the Chicago Bears with one of the top QB’s in the draft. Could be fun @Josh_Udel3
