Bears consider changes to attract Lions' offensive coordinator Ben Johnson

The Chicago Bears are considering changes to attract Ben Johnson, the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator. Unlike the Bears, the Lions sought help from former player Chris Spielman, who has played a key role in their recent turnaround. The Bears have struggled under chairman George McCaskey, with eight losing seasons in 13 years. They have not utilized former players in official roles, unlike the Lions, who involved Spielman and Hall of Famer Barry Sanders in their leadership decisions. As the Bears prepare to search for a new coach, they face questions about their organizational structure. The success of the Lions under Spielman highlights the need for the Bears to rethink their approach to leadership and team culture.
