INDIANAPOLIS — In Bears coach Ben Johnson’s first month on the job, it already has become clear this is going to be much different than it was with predecessor Matt Eberflus.
Johnson should be an upgrade, not only in scheme, but in helping general manager Ryan Poles on the personnel side in a way that Eberflus couldn’t. Finding common ground in that area was crucial in their interview process, both in Poles looking for someone who could help and Johnson looking to have substantive influence, and Poles said Tuesday that has played out just like he hoped.
