Nagy knows this is a make-or-break season for him after his unexpected retention.
Bringing back Matt Nagy to coach the Bears for another season required somewhat of an apology.
Even without a full crowd at Soldier Field to boo the team off the field every other week, chairman George McCaskey had a sense that this wasn’t going to go over well. Maybe he caught a whiff of the fury swirling around Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace on Twitter, or maybe it was simply logical to expect backlash after going 16-16 in 2019-20 and getting pitiful offense from a supposed offensive guru.
