– For 2026, Johnson is bringing in a familiar face: Will Lawing, his longtime North Carolina teammate and former Boston College offensive coordinator, to join Chicago’s coaching staff in an as-yet-undetermined offensive role 📊.
– Lawing’s pedigree runs deep—he’s spent more than a decade coaching at the college and pro levels, including two seasons as BC’s OC, and he and Johnson have kept their connection strong since their UNC days in 2004.
– The exact role is still up in the air, but Lawing could slot into a key offensive position (potentially even replacing a previous RB-focused spot) as Johnson reshapes the staff to push the Bears toward becoming a Super Bowl contender in 2026 🔥.
– Bottom line: Chicago is investing in strong staff continuity and high-upside talent to accelerate the climb in 2026, aiming to translate a breakthrough year into sustained postseason success 🏈📈.
