As the New England Patriots aim to revitalize their offense under the new leadership of Mike Vrabel, they could look to set their sights on one of the Chicago Bears’ key players.
Perhaps this is why McCaskey believed the Bears were the most attractive franchise for any potential head coach. Chicago has won nine NFL championships, but only two since the conclusion of the 1946 season. Those came in 1963 and 1985.
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is beginning to build his coaching staff, and former Chicago Bears interim coach Thomas Brown is on his shortlist.
Brown is the first known candidate to interview for the Patriots' offensive coordinator job under Vrabel. He interviewed for the position last season as well before the team ultimately hired Alex Van Pelt. Under Van Pelt's watch in 2024, New England gained just 291.9 yards per game (31st) and scored just 17 points per game (30th).
The Detroit Lions also lost coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn to head coach jobs and DL coach Terrell Williams to a coordinator spot.
What drew Ben Johnson to the Chicago Bears? And who does he plan to hire on his coaching staff? Looking at some questions for the prospective new Bears coach.
The New England Patriots are widely expected to try and find a star No. 1 wide receiver this offseason for young quarterback Drake Maye. Quite a few names have already been tossed around as targets.Among those names are Tee Higgins,
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson will be introduced to the media on Wednesday, but he still needs to put together his new staff in the Windy City.
With Vrabel off the board, there are five NFL head coach vacancies, with the Bears, Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars, Las Vegas Raiders, and New Orleans Saints still searching. All attention for Chicago should turn to Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who has been the hottest and most discussed name for the job outside of Vrabel.
Ben Johnson will move from the Detroit Lions to his NFC North rival, as the Chicago Bears are bringing him on as the team's new head coach.
