Barrett might be better known for his accomplishments at Ohio State, but he's been integral to the Bears' QB success in 2025.

The NFL head coach and general manager hiring cycles are in full force. Here’s the latest news that could be of interest to Chicago Bears fans.

While their former head coach was just fired, Ben Johnson and GM Ryan Poles are riding high for the Chicago Bears.

There’s a sour feeling from the Chicago Bears after being swept by the Detroit Lions this season.“We can’t dig ourselves in a hole like that,” head coach Ben Johnson said after the 19-16 loss to end the regular season.

The rule is not without controversy, including a lawsuit filed by former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores who, in 2022, alleged he had interviews prior to being hired by Miami that were simply to meet the Rooney Rule requirements and were not actual considerations for a vacant head coaching position. That litigation is still ongoing.

"Good Morning Football" makes their picks on which coach is going to have more to boast about between Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson the day after their upcoming Wild Card matchup on Saturday night.

The team has requested interviews with Klint Kubiak and Anthony Weaver, and will interview Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph this morning and Broncos quarterback coach Davis Webb this afternoon for their head coach vacancy. The team will also interview Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy on Sunday.
