CHICAGO -- Matt Nagy just became the latest Chicago Bears employee to have his fate intertwined with Mitchell Trubisky's.
Nagy, who the Bears named as the 16th head coach in franchise history on Monday, was hired to breathe new life into Chicago's dormant offense, which is tied for 30th in points since 2015.
Selecting Nagy over candidates such as Minnesota's Pat Shurmur or Philadelphia's John DeFilippo had nothing to do with the state of Chicago's defense.
The Bears are crossing their fingers that Vic Fangio's head coaching interview last week appeased the decorated defensive coordinator enough to stick around and join Nagy's staff, but if not, the Bears will still run a version of the 3-4.
