Ben Johnson asserted himself nicely in his first season as Bears' head coach, and Chris Simms had some big praise.
The Chicago Bears needed a new head coach who could be the driving force for a new culture, and they tabbed Ben Johnson to be that tone setter. How a first-time head coach will assert himself is always an unknown, but Johnson wasted no time in showing he was more than just one of the top offensive play-callers in the league.
A 0-2 start to this season could have led to things going off the rails.
