New Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy has yet to coach a game, but he already notched a big victory.
The Bears have retained defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. The team and Fangio had kept the lines of communication open over the past several days, even though his contract had expired, with the hopes that he might return.
Fangio was granted a head-coaching interview with the Bears before the team picked Nagy. There was some concern about Fangio's reaction to being passed over for that role, and he reportedly wondered if it merely was a token interview.
