CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bears will keep head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace for the 2021 season, the team announced Wednesday.
Bears chairman George McCaskey praised Nagy's ability to navigate the team through a six-game losing streak this season and help lead Chicago to the playoffs, but he also announced that neither Nagy nor Pace will receive contract extensions.
League sources confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday that veteran defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano has decided to retire after two years with the Bears.
The fates of Nagy and Pace had been uncertain after the Bears lost eight of 11 to end the season and finished 1-7 versus playoff teams in 2020.
