Earlier this week, Johnson pounced on a rising star in the offensive coaching world and hired 28-year-old Declan Doyle away from Sean Payton's Denver Broncos staff, designating him as the team's 2025 offensive coordinator.

On Monday, the Chicago Bears hired Ben Johnson away from the Detroit Lions to be Matt Eberflus’ replacement as head coach. The former Lions’ offensive coordinator has no experience as a head coach, so it was expected that the 38-year-old would look at hiring former head coaches to fill out the Bears’ coaching staff.
