Chicago Bears President Kevin Warren was asked about the future of GM Ryan Poles and his contract situation. His response was ridiculous.

Kevin Warren was named the Bears ’ fifth president/CEO exactly two years ago Sunday.

The Chicago Bears have announced the hiring of Ben Johnson as their head coach. Johnson, 38, spent three seasons as Detroit’s offensive coordinator; he had been with the Lions since 2019, starting out

The team announced Tuesday morning that Johnson, formerly the Lions offensive coordinator, officially signed to become their 18th head coach. The Bears agreed to terms with him Monday, winning a fierce competition for the top candidate on the market.

Another domino in the coaching world fell as the Chicago Bears officially hired Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. The move comes just days after the top-seeded Lions were eliminated from the postseason by the Washington Commanders, freeing up Johnson to focus on his next steps.

We don’t know whether Johnson will lead Caleb Williams and the Bears to great heights, but he feels like the right guy for a very big job.

Chicago Bears President/CEO Kevin Warren boldly proclaimed seven weeks ago the organization would have the most attractive situation of any NFL team searching for a new head coach — and it appears that proved true.

Two weeks ago, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that McCarthy "could set his sights on Chicago." It was apparently mutual after the Bears requested an interview with McCarthy while he was still under contract by the Cowboys, who denied the request. After Dallas and McCarthy decided to part ways, it didn't take long for Chicago to set up an interview.

None of the other teams that have head coach openings seem to be as interested in Mike McCarthy as the Chicago Bears.

After multiple cycles as a top name on the carousel, Johnson grew comfortable joining the setup in Chicago. Plus, how Sean McDermott entered the NFL ranks and a few assistant coaches who are now top coordinator candidates.

"We are elated to welcome Ben and his family to the Bears and the greatest city in the world," Bears chairman George McCaskey said in a statement.
