When Ben Johnson was considering taking the head coaching position for the Las Vegas Raiders, it caught everybody by surprise.
The Detroit Lions offensive coordinator was the top name on the coaching market, and the Raiders were considered by many to be one of the less desirable openings available.
However, as reports swirled that Johnson was the favorite for the Raiders, fans understandably became excited by the prospect.
That is exactly why when news of Johnson becoming the head coach of the Chicago Bears came in on Tuesday, it came as a surprise to the Raiders and their fanbase.
