New Bears coach Ben Johnson, his wife and three children stood near the front desk of the main entrance to Halas Hall on Tuesday. Bears employees had gathered on the stairs and second floor balcony to welcome him when he gave an impromptu speech. General manager Ryan Poles and president/CEO Kevin Warren stood in the corner of the room and smiled.
“This is exactly where we wanted to be,” Johnson said in a video the team posted on social media.
