Caleb Williams has shown support for the Chicago Bears' reported decision to hire Ben Johnson as their new offensive coordinator. Williams recently engaged with an Instagram post from the NFL that highlighted the Bears' potential new acquisition, which was noted by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. This hiring is significant for both the team and Williams as they look to improve performance moving forward.

The Bears are in the process of finalizing a deal with Johnson, with contract parameters reportedly already outlined. This decision comes as the Bears seek to replace former head coach Matt Eberflus, who was dismissed midseason, and Thomas Brown, who served as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season. Williams, who had a challenging rookie season in 2024, was part of an offense that ranked last in the NFL, averaging 284.6 total yards per game. There is hope that Johnson can bring his successful approach, evident in his previous role where his team ranked second in the league with an impressive average of 409.5 total yards a game.

In a previous appearance on the St. Brown Podcast, Williams expressed his wish for an offensive-minded coach, particularly one from whom he could learn and develop as a quarterback. He referenced his admiration for what the Detroit Lions have built under Johnson and indicated a desire for a similar dynamic in Chicago. Johnson, for his part, has acknowledged Williams' talent and potential, noting his ability to extend plays and his accuracy downfield. The hiring of Johnson marks a pivotal moment in his coaching career, as it represents his first head coaching position after extensive experience with the Miami Dolphins.
