New Chicago Bears Coach Dan Johnson Sees Promise in Current Roster
As the Bears look to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 season, new head coach Dan Johnson is optimistic about the team’s prospects. Johnson, who previously coached the Detroit Lions, believes that the roster built by general manager Ryan Poles is “loaded” and is confident that the team can be successful with a talented quarterback like Justin Fields.
However, Johnson also acknowledged that the team’s struggles up front, particularly on the offensive line, must be addressed. Williams was sacked a league-most 68 times in 2024, and the position group must be improved if the team is to succeed.
Johnson plans to work closely with Poles to develop a plan to improve the offensive line, which may involve acquiring new talent or bringing in an experienced coach to help develop the team’s young players. He also believes that the team’s current roster has the potential to be successful, and is excited to get to work and evaluate the team’s strengths and weaknesses.
Johnson’s optimism is tempered by the reality that the NFL is a competitive league, and that success is not guaranteed. However, he is confident that the team has the potential to be a contender, and is looking forward to the challenge of leading the Bears to success.
