Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson have big aspirations for Bears' future
Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles opened up on how he and Ben Johnson are trying to put together long-term success for the organization.
Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles has been focused on revitalizing the franchise since joining the team in 2022, and last season's performance marked the start of a potential turnaround. Poles drafted quarterback Caleb Williams in 2024 and hired Ben Johnson as head coach before the start of the 2023 season. This partnership yielded an 11-6 record, an NFC North championship, and a wild-card playoff victory.
Poles remains committed to elevating the Bears into a national contender and long-term champion, seeking to build a dynasty that will endure for years to come. Johnson, driven by the desire to create a championship-caliber team, shares Poles' high standards and relentless pursuit of greatness. Together, they strive to transform the organization into a level of success it has never achieved before, with a "hunt mentality" propelling them to conquer new heights.
