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.

We've got some internal and external candidates to watch. It's hard to ignore Kelvin Sheppard as anything but one of the favorites for the job.

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

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.

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.

The Detroit Lions may need a replacement for defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn soon, as the Lions coach is likely to land a head-coaching gig in 2025. With that in mind, one NFL analyst is urging the Lions to replace Glenn with a two-time head coach who has experience as a defensive 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.

Less than one week after being hired as the 19th head coach in Chicago Bears history, Ben Johnson has chosen his three coordinators.

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 Chicago Tribune reports former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen is expected to become the Bears’ new defensive coordinator:

Ben Johnson went out and got another experienced veteran coach to add to his staff with the Bears next season.
