Bears Hire Offensive Mastermind, Aim to Bounce Back in 2025
22 Jul
Summary
- Bears hire Ben Johnson as new head coach, known for his offensive prowess
- Quarterback Caleb Williams looks to improve in his second season
- Bears have overhauled their offensive line to better protect Williams

As the Chicago Bears prepare for their 2025 training camp, the team is filled with a renewed sense of optimism. The Bears have hired Ben Johnson, an offensive mastermind, as their new head coach, and they have made significant upgrades to their offensive line to better protect quarterback Caleb Williams.
Johnson, who previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, is known for his innovative schemes and his ability to transform offenses. The Bears are hoping that Johnson can work the same magic in Chicago, as they look to bounce back from a disappointing 5-12 season in 2024.
One of the key focuses for the Bears this offseason has been improving the offensive line, which was a major weakness for the team last year. The Bears have overhauled the interior of the line and have also drafted a tight end with a top-10 pick, all with the goal of creating a more effective and efficient offense around Williams.
Williams, who was the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is entering his second season with high expectations. The Bears are hoping that with an improved offensive line and a more cohesive offensive scheme, Williams will be able to take a significant step forward in his development and lead the team to a division title in the competitive NFC North.
