Bears coach Ben Johnson is trending after Lamar Jackson’s eye-opening comments

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson lost a key cog in his coaching staff ahead of his second season with the team. This is after Declan Doyle decided to leave Chicago to take the offensive coordinator position with the Baltimore Ravens.

Doyle played a pivotal role for the Bears last season, in what turned out to be his first and final year with the team. One of the biggest testaments to this fact is the rapid rise of quarterback Caleb Williams.

Under the direction of Doyle as OC and Johnson as head coach, Williams rose to superstardom in his second NFL season. The former USC standout firmly established himself as one of the league’s top quarterbacks after leading the Bears to their first NFC North title since 2018.

Chicago Bears HC Ben Johnson gets credit for Declan Doyle’s progress with Ravens

One of the main reasons Doyle chose to join the Ravens was for the opportunity to work directly with two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. The Ravens’ cornerstone quarterback has already gotten a taste of what life will be like under Doyle, and Jackson had nothing but good things to say about his new OC.

“It’s a different system than what I’m accustomed to being in, and I feel like there’s going to be a lot of explosiveness this year,” Jackson said. “The way Declan Doyle calls plays and his creativity with his mind — how detailed he is — it’s mind-blowing.”

Bears fans could not help but turn their attention to Johnson after hearing Jackson’s comments. The Chicago head coach is now getting credit for Doyle’s emergence as a top OC.

“The Ben Johnson coaching tree is already making great impressions. THE BEN JOHNSON EFFECT ” a comment on Instagram read.

“He’s got the outline but we got the blueprint and master plan! ” said another.

“The Ben Johnson-Tree has officially started,” declared a user.

“ben johnson tree already growing,” a fan wrote.

“Da Ben Johnson tree,” another said.

Johnson and Doyle built a strong and fruitful relationship during their time together in Chicago. The two shared a relentless work ethic that promoted a deep mutual respect between them.

Their stint together may have been short, but it appears that his brief time under Johnson has helped advance Doyle’s career.
