Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson has been making the rounds since he was hired, and there's a ton of excitement that comes with it.
The hope for Bears fans is that he elevates quarterback Caleb Williams and give the team a chance at a Super Bowl championship. They went shopping at the top of the shelf for this coach and they paid the premium to get him.
Off the field, Johnson has been making his presence known in Chicago, including most recently with an appearance at the Chicago Blackhawks game Sunday at the United Center. Before every game, the Blackhawks have someone special "Sound That Horn" right before the first puck drop. Johnson and his family were up to the task.
When Johnson was introduced, the crowd went crazy for their new football head coach. The love for Johnson around town, already, is strong.
Just like every other coach hired before Johnson (since Lovie Smith), there is some unknown that comes with him. It's hard to know for sure whether the team will find success with Johnson, but this does feel different. Johnson is the guy that everybody wanted and the Detroit Lions didn't want to lose. There's a reason that the Bears had to give him a lot of money to win him over other teams looking for a coach.
The new Bears head coach must have brought some good football luck to the Blackhawks. They hadn't scored seven (touchdown + extra point) goals at any point this season. Chicago defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, 7-4, to end a seven-game losing streak.
Hopefully, Johnson takes all of these good vibes with him to the field and the Bears respond. If that happens, and they become a good football team, he will be a legend in Chicago for a long time.
