Evidently, whatever the Bears did worked because Johnson officially signed his coaching contract with the franchise on Tuesday. And when he entered Bears headquarters at Halas Hall, he was met with … a standing ovation. Almost like everyone in the building couldn’t believe he actually picked them. I don’t blame anyone for thinking that:

The Bears offer a chance to work with quarterback Caleb Williams, who had a promising rookie season after being picked No. 1 overall. In a late-season press conference before a game against the Bears, Johnson praised Williams’ arm talent and creativity as a quarterback.

The Chicago Bears announced Tuesday that the team had reached an agreement with former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator to become the new head coach in the Windy City.
