Dennis Allen Reveals When Ben Johnson Asked Him to Be His Defensive Coordinator
Dennis Allen—who was introduced as Chicago's next defensive coordinator at a press conference on Thursday—revealed that Johnson reached out to him during the season to see if he'd like to join forces at his next destination.
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.

Why Lions Playoff Exit Won't Impact Aaron Glenn's Coaching CandidacyMost 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 Bears are bringing in former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen as defensive coordinator. Chicago has also hired Denver Broncos tight ends coach Declan Doyle to serve as the offensive coordinator and is retaining special teams coordinator Richard Hightower.
The Bears are hiring Ben Johnson as head coach and he already has a top candidate in mind for defensive coordinator.
The mentality that new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen plans to bring to the Bears is in keeping with the team’s storied history as “Monsters of the Midway.”
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.

New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka spoke about why the New Orleans Saints aren't necessarily an undesirable landing spot for a potential head coach.
The Bears’ new coordinators met with reporters virtually Thursday for the first time since the team announced their hirings. Here are five of the most interesting things Dennis Allen, Declan Doyle and Richard Hightower said Thursday.
The reason: he was Johnson once. Allen, the Bears ’ new defensive coordinator, was a 39-year-old first-time head coach when the Raiders started their 2012 regular season. Johnson will be 39 when the Bears play their first game with him as their head coach.
