Chiefs OC Matt Nagy Named Bears Head Coach

Recommended Posts

Nagy, 39, replaces John Fox, who was fired after posting a 14-34 record in three seasons.

The Bears interviewed five candidates before meeting with Nagy on Sunday, the day after the Chiefs' playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans.

Nagy spent the last 10 seasons coaching under Andy Reid in Philadelphia and Kansas City. Reid promoted Nagy to Chiefs offensive coordinator this year -- Nagy served as Kansas City's co-offensive coordinator in 2016 -- and officially relinquished playcalling duties to the young assistant late in 2017. Kansas City won four in a row to close out the regular season before Saturday's collapse against the Titans.

If he's the one behind some of those awesome misdirection runs this could be an awesome hire with the backs they have. Bears have a long way to go before they're back in contention in the NFCN but who knows? We seem to see at least a couple teams go from worst to first every year. That's a tall order with 2 power house teams in the division and the Lions, who are on the cusp with one of the better QB's in the game.

Nagy: "I called every single play in the second half ... that there was a learning situation for me"

Great hire, Bears.
