A report has emerged Tuesday morning that Matt Nagy was informed that Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day game against the Detroit Lions would be his last game as Chicago Bears head coach.
The report comes from long time Chicago reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner Mark Konkol, who has worked at the Sun-Times, Chicago Reporter and now Patch.
This would be a historical departure from franchise norms as the Bears have never in their history let a coach go before the end of a season.
It could also be an indication that perhaps it’s a resignation by Nagy rather than a firing, but according to reporters, the coach is still scheduled to meet the media later this morning, around 11:45 a.
