"It's a really great feeling when you meet a person and everything clicks, and everything comes together," Pace said Tuesday at Nagy's introductory press conference at Halas Hall. "Matt's a proven leader. He's a winner. He's intelligent. He's innovative. He has strong character. He's got a great family. And he shares the same passion for the game that I have."
Pace interviewed Nagy Sunday morning in Kansas City and hired him as the 16th head coach in Bears history on Monday. He replaces John Fox, who was relieved of his duties Jan. 1 after compiling a disappointing 14-34 record in three seasons with the team.
