Jaylon Johnson talks impact of Bears' continued coaching turnover

For as bad as this season has been for the Chicago Bears, the worst of it has been seeing two different coaching changes take place and no difference in results.

First, it was offensive coordinator Shane Waldron getting fired following a pathetic loss to the New England Patriots. Then, on an absolute mind-blowing display of coaching malpractice in a Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions, head coach Matt Eberflus was fired. In both instances, Thomas Brown replaced Waldron and Eberflus, but the elevation to interim head coach was followed by an embarrassing loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.

While on paper the team may be filled with talent, there's been no showing of putting it all together this season and cornerback Jaylon Johnson believes the turnover has exhausted the team. Since being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, Johnson has seen three head coach changes (Matt Nagy, Matt Eberflus, and now Thomas Brown as interim head coach), and during Eberflus' tenure, he went through eight different coaches in less than three full seasons.

When speaking to the "Speigel & Holmes Show" on 670 the Score, Johnson discussed the uncomfortable state for players enduring several coaching changes.

"It's hard to execute when you're learning and going through so many different regimes, coaches, and staff, and people's outlooks," Johnson said on Monday. "[Patrick] Mahomes and them [Kansas City Chiefs] are winning because they've have a lot of stability. Andy Reid has been able to build with Patrick Mahomes before he was the guy that we knew he was. Little things like that, it's easier to build a dynasty when you have a high level of consistency with coaches, front office."

It's hard to argue with Johnson's take on the coaching turnover, and it's hard to convince players who may be available free agents that there is stability with the Bears franchise. There needs to be an extreme sense of urgency to address not only the talent on the roster, but the stability and order of power in the front office and coaching staff going into the 2025 season.
