While Bears scramble to fix offense, Chuck Pagano to rely on continuity

Bears coach Matt Nagy will spend the offseason trying to fix his offense, sorting through potential changes in play-calling, players and assistant coaches.

That flurry of frantic activity doesn’t figure to apply to the defense, where coordinator Chuck Pagano and his staff appear to be settling in for the long haul.

Tuesday, Nagy compared the defensive staff to his own offensive assistants last offseason. The Bears didn’t replace a single one, and the team spent the offseason trying — unsuccessfully, it turned out — to find a way to make leaps in Year 2.

“It’s very obvious that the offensive side of the ball is something that is going to be very, very important to me to get right,” Nagy said.
