Chicago Bears Fire Head Coach Matt Nagy After Disastrous Season
Nagy's Departure
The Chicago Bears have fired head coach Matt Nagy after a disastrous 2021 season that saw the team finish with a 6-11 record.
Nagy, who was hired in 2018, was unable to turn around the Bears' fortunes. The team went 12-16 under his leadership and failed to make the playoffs in either of his seasons.
Nagy's Record
Nagy's firing comes after a disappointing season that saw the Bears struggle on both sides of the ball.
The Bears' offense, which was once led by quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, struggled to find its footing under Nagy.
The Bears' defense also struggled, allowing the most points in the NFL in 2021.
Nagy's Replacement
The Bears have not yet named a replacement for Nagy.
However, several potential candidates have been mentioned, including former Bears head coach Lovie Smith and current Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.
Future of the Bears
The Bears are now in search of a new head coach who can turn around the team's fortunes.
The Bears have a solid foundation of young talent, including quarterback Justin Fields and wide receiver Darnell Mooney.
However, the Bears will need to make some changes if they want to compete for a Super Bowl in the future.
