The former NFL running back who was a training camp assistant in 2023 for the Bears will have an interview for the vacant Bears head coaching position according to a Fox Sports report.

After a 5-12, last-place season that included 10 consecutive losses and the in-season firings of coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the Chicago Bears embarked on a wide-ranging search to hire the franchise’s next head coach.

Not only does it work for the Rooney Rule, it also makes sense that Matt Eberflus will want Andre Curtis here to oversee his secondary.

Johnson introduced one of the most prolific offensive periods in Detroit Lions history. Now, he'll lead the way in Chicago.

The Chicago Bears are finalizing a deal to hire Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their next head coach, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. Johnson, who has been the Lions' offensive coordinator the past three seasons, will fill the job vacated when Matt Eberflus was fired during the season.

For some of those teams, that will involve finding new head coaches and/or General Managers. Three teams fired their head coaches during the season and two more have been dispatched as of 9 a.m. ET on January 6.
