A calculated crew: Diagnosing each member of Matt Nagy's Bears coaching staff

Outside of learning how to be a leader of 53 men, being one of the faces of a franchise, and (at least) attempting to become an effective in-game manager, the greatest challenge facing Matt Nagy in his head coaching opportunity with the Bears was always going to be what kind of subordinates he'd surround himself with. Meaning, who he hand-picked for his coaching staff to carry out his vision.

For a 39-year-old in the mold of Nagy, it was crucial for him to find experienced position coaches and coordinators for his Bears group. People he could properly delegate not only when he saw pressing offensive or quarterback concern in his specialty, but in general to take the stress off management of an entire organization.
