The Detroit Lions were not happy to lose former OC Ben Johnson this offseason. Johnson left Detroit to join Chicago as their next head coach, a move he had put off for a few years now. He had positive things to say about the Lions just weeks before the regular season.
Bears head coach Ben Johnson praised his former mentor Dan Campbell during an interview on Wednesday.
“I take a lot [from Detroit] because the story of my career has been more losing than it has been winning,” Johnson said on Up & Adams with Kay Adams. “So I've seen more ways not to do it. Detroit was really the first way I've seen to do it and have success. Particularly turning that place completely around. I was a part of that and I really enjoyed my time there, of course.”
Johnson pointed directly to Campbell
