Hot Take Tuesday: Chicago Bears Have Best Coaching Staff in the League

The Chicago Bears’ recent demolition of the New York Jets—where they outgained their opponents in nearly every statistical category—has reignited debate over their coaching staff’s elite status. Ben Johnson’s offensive scheme has been particularly dominant, leveraging a strong offensive line and standout skill-position players to sustain a commanding lead despite playing with a backup quarterback.

Meanwhile, defensive coordinator Dennis Allen has orchestrated one of the NFL’s most formidable units, particularly on third downs, where the Bears’ pressure and rookie secondary contributions have defied expectations. Their combined impact has positioned Johnson and Allen as the league’s most lethal coaching duo, with only a handful of other staffs—including the Chiefs’ Reid/Spagnuolo tandem and the Rams’ McVay/Shula pairing—rivaling their influence.

The Bears’ dominance wasn’t just about individual standouts like Tyson Bagent or Dayo Odeyingbo’s resurgence; it was the product of meticulous play-calling and defensive execution. Allen’s ability to elevate a roster filled with backup-caliber starters into a third-down powerhouse, while Johnson’s offensive mastery continues to push him toward the top of NFL play-callers, underscores why this staff may already be the best in the league—even if Johnson’s long-term success still hinges on sustained results.
