Bears coach Matt Nagy has much to prove as play caller after long fall from 2018 success

Matt Nagy is asking you to trust him.
That’s a hefty request from the coach who wobbled to a 16-16 record over the last two seasons, when the Bears scored the seventh-fewest points in the NFL and neither passed nor ran with any proficiency.
While that’s not entirely Nagy’s fault, most of it is. All the Bears’ biggest problems fall under his purview. He’s calling the plays. And it got so bleak last season that he admitted he might not be the right man for that job as he handed authority to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor. It’s been a precipitous plunge from 2018 when he was the darling of the city.
