NFL Fans Upset With Ben Johnson After Eye-Catching Revelation

The Chicago Bears are entering a new era with the hiring of former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their next head coach.

This hire was first reported on January 20, just two days after the Lions’ heartbreaking loss to the Washington Commanders in the NFL playoffs’ Divisional Round.

Johnson wasted no time assembling a staff that includes Dennis Allen as defensive coordinator and Declan Doyle as offensive coordinator.

However, these weren’t rushed decisions, as Allen recently revealed that Johnson had reached out to him late in the season to gauge his interest in the position.

This information has left many Lions fans upset, with accusations that Johnson had already quit on the team.

“Lions had no chance of reaching the SB. Ben was checked out weeks before,” said one fan.

“So during the playoffs???? Makes sense now why they went for it on 3rd and 1 when Gibbs was having such a strong first quarter,” added another.

“Ben Johnson had already checked out. How disappointing,” a third fan commented.

A fourth said, “If that’s true, I’m glad he’s gone. We don’t need anyone in Detroit who doesn’t want to be here.”

“Is this surprising? The guy was picking out drapes for his new house in Chicago instead of planning for the playoffs…” another remarked.

“So what I’m understanding is Ben Johnson was already thinking about his new job at the end of the regular season when we still had the playoffs,” noted one more.

It’s important to mention, however, that despite their loss to the Commanders, Detroit’s offense remained impressive, racking up 521 total yards and four touchdowns.
