The Chicago Bears will reportedly hire Ben Johnson as their new head coach, and reaction is already pouring in amid the breaking news.
Johnson, the offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions, is reportedly flying into Chicago to finalize his deal, but even before the contract is signed, his future players are among those reaction.
Bears safety Jaquan Brisker, who had said on social media he would ‘prefer offensive coach,’ was understandably excited by the news.
In a follow-up post Brisker said “this is the turning point. New times!”
Former Bears offensive lineman posted a GIF with the phrase “ladies and gentlemen, we got him”:
Quarterback Caleb Williams hasn’t made a direct post about the hire, but he did like the NFL’s post on the Johnson move, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero:
