Ben Johnson arrives at Halas Hall: ‘This is exactly where we wanted to be’

The Chicago Bears have officially announced Ben Johnson as the franchise’s new head coach, and they released some video from Halas Hall.

“Everyone get back to work!” Johnson joked before saying, “Thank you so much. My family and I, we are beyond excited. This is exactly where we wanted to be.”

A new era has begun for the Bears.

They got the most coveted head coaching candidate in decades, and this truly feels like the moment the franchise has turned a corner.
