Bears' rich tradition important to Nagy

"I want the team to understand the team they're playing for and the tradition and the history," Nagy said. "When they step into Halas Hall, understand how fortunate they are. No. 1, they've got to know that. A lot of guys will hear it, but they don't know why and they don't understand it. They're going to understand why it's so important for them to put on the Bears uniform."

It shouldn't be difficult for Nagy to convey the message. Not with a large statue of Bears legend George Halas, who helped create the NFL, just outside the main entrance of Halas Hall.
