The Chicago Bears have hired former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to be their head coach and perhaps the second-most important role on his staff will be defensive coordinator. In searching for his other half, Johnson has looked to the Los Angeles Rams and requested an interview with Aubrey Pleasant, L.A.’s assistant head coach and defensive passing game coordinator.
This would make Pleasant one of the most important defensive coordinators in the NFC and possibly streamlined for a head coaching job in the future.
