Bears Head-Coaching Search Down To Mike McCarthy, Ben Johnson

Bears Head-Coaching Search Down To Mike McCarthy, Ben Johnson

yesterday

The Chicago Bears have reportedly whittled their long list of head-coaching candidates down to two names. At the moment, former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy and Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson are the two favorites for the head-coaching gig in Chicago. Johnson is probably the most coveted coach available right now after his work as the offensive coordinator with the Detroit Lions. Somehow, Super Bowl winning McCarthy appears to be the underdog in this race. To be fair, McCarthy won the Super Bowl in 2010, but he's still a well accomplished coach. His days in Dallas appear to be over after a 7-10 finish, but they didn't have quarterback Dak Prescott for a majority of the year. Both Johnson and McCarthy seem like they would be upgrades for the Bears organization.
