I know everyone talks about the B. Johnson on the lions, but there’s another one we should be talking about and that’s Eagles OC Brian Johnson. Why?

1. He’s shown he can develop a QB. He’s been Jalen Hurst’s QB coach since 2020. On top of that he was Kyle Trask’s OC and QB coach the year he finished 4th as a Heisman Trophy finalist.

2. Like Ben Johnson, he has play calling experience.

3. He has the highest scoring offense by any team in the NFL who’s head coach doesn’t call plays, good for second highest scoring offense overall behind only Miami.

4. He has the 2nd best yardage of any offense in the NFL not called by their head coach, trailing only Ben Johnson. This is good for the 3rd highest yardage offense overall in the NFL, trailing the aforementioned Lions and of course the Dolphins.

5. Coming from the Eagles, he’ll have some great connections to build the staff on defense. An example of how this will be useful is the Texans; they hired a great defensive guy from the 49ers in Demeco Ryans, who also brought over a great OC with him from the 49ers. Having connections like this is an underrated part of a HC hire and Ben Johnson will have them.

IMO, hiring Brian Johnson should be a top priority for the Bears. Let me know your thoughts.
