It’s early yet. Dennis Allen barely has his new office settled at Halas Hall. So it’s difficult for the 52-year-old coach to deliver a concrete vision of what his Chicago Bears defense might look like in 2025.

New Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen wants to bring an “aggressive, attacking” scheme to Chicago as he oversees a unit that was inconsistent in 2024.

Most coaches and players will quote a 'next man up' mentality when asked about injuries, adding that it's a part of the game. However, there also comes a time when an injury-riddled team simply runs out of quality players. It's a scenario we saw play out with the New Orleans Saints offense this season.

The Chicago Bears have found their new coordinators under first-year head coach Ben Johnson.

The Bears are hiring Ben Johnson as head coach and he already has a top candidate in mind for defensive coordinator.

It’s been a long time coming, but Ben Johnson (Chicago Bears) and Aaron Glenn (New York Jets) are off to run their own franchises. Who they take with them is the next question, but what we do know right now is that Dan Campbell is tasked with replacing two of his closest confidants in the middle of a Super Bowl window.

Ben Johnson is reportedly close to signing Dennis Allen as his defensive coordinator. The Chicago Bears coaching staff could start to take shape as a recent report suggests he's working to fill out available spots.

CHICAGO (CBS Sports) -- The Chicago Bears recently got their new head coach in Ben Johnson. Now they have two right-hand men for Johnson, on Sunday hiring former New Orleans Saints coach Dennis Allen as the team's new defensive coordinator, as NFL Media reported, and 28-year-old Declan Doyle as the new offensive coordinator.

The Lions are heading into the offseason sooner than they or most anyone expected. We’ll kick-start the process by evaluating five questions facing the team.

Ben Johnson took a major step toward completing his coaching staff Sunday night. The new Chicago Bears head coach, who was introduced at Halas Hall on Wednesday, didn’t take long to fill all three coordinator roles.
