Eric Bieniemy Hire Reportedly Led To Unexpected Event For Ben Johnson

Ben Johnson knew what he wanted to do regarding his coaching staff. It would’ve been so easy just to pinpoint several names he was familiar with and bring them in. Chemistry would never be an issue. However, the Chicago Bears head coach also understood it would limit the chance of this team reaching the highest peak of achievement. Johnson had to be willing to bring in guys he didn’t know, guys with strong reputations elsewhere, even at the potential cost of somewhat difficult relationships. That is what led him to Eric Bieniemy.
