After four seasons in Lake Forest, the Chicago Bears have fired Matt Nagy following a disappointing 6-11 finish during the 2021 season, reports ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Nagy’s firing comes as no surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention. Ever since an inaugural 12-4 season in 2018 where Nagy won NFL Coach of the Year, the Bears have been on a steady downswing. Chicago managed to stay afloat at precisely .500 (16-16) in 2019 and 2020, but not without a fair share of holes pointing at more glaring issues. Those glaring issues eventually came to roost as the Bears cratered in 2021 and became one of the NFL’s worst teams.
