purplemonster Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Most likely they are 4-9 even if they beat Det still have AZ and GB after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) They have never fired a head coach in season. It is too much to ask for. I doubt they lose to the Lions, but they probably will if this report is true. Nagy is done. His act has worn thin. Eta: just read a local report that he was informed yesterday that Thursday will be his last game with the Bears win or lose. Kind of a strange way to go about firing someone, if the report is true.

Like really your going to make this guy coach a game on Thanksgiving in front of the entire country knowing he’s been fired already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) If true, this will give you a small glimpse of just how messed up the ownership is. To be frank, nothing changes here until the ownership does, and until Ted Phillips goes away. Pace is way over his head. Chasing Mitch and Mack, and now Fields has crippled this franchise. Sure, Pace is allowed to act like an over zealous dynasty GM, but Phillips allowed it to happen year in and year out, and allowed them to go into cap hell. Watch them hire Ernie Acorsi yet again and f it up for another decade. This town is ready for a 2nd franchise...

Got "distracted" by work before I could post this, glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this is a pretty manurety thing if true. "Please report to work for the next 3 days, then you're fired!" I mean why bother to show up, or make an effort, what are they going to do give him a bad review? Here's a report on NBC Sports that covers it https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/report-bears-fire-matt-nagy-after-thanksgiving-game I also wonder how does the team play? Are the fired up to know he's finally going to get canned and play really hard? Or do they decide to send him off with a real stinker? Not hard to do with some well timed penalties and missed plays.

gilthorp Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Maybe they will really screw it up long term and hire Jason Garret now that he's on the street. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that in an interview after the game HC Judge indicated the coaching has not been good, but wouldn't comment on Garrett. Seems he didn't want to comment on the lack of player effort or poor execution. The announcers (think it was Riddick) was talking about Golladay and how he needs to step up and start doing something for the money he got paid. A few players later he points out how a little pass could have been a nice gain, if only Golladay made his block, but he whiffs then stands there like unconcerned. The offense sure did stink, how much of it is coaching how much is lack of talent or just guys who don't care. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32695669/new-york-giants-joe-judge-points-finger-coaching-staff-loss-bucs-mum-jason-garrett-status-oc https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32699164/new-york-giants-fire-offensive-coordinator-jason-garrett-sources-say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys just dont care, and that shows in some play. A pro level athlete (heck, V level!) shouldnt ened rah rah or a glad hand by the coaching staff to properly motivate. its reprehensible.

gilthorp Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 To Nagy's credit, the team's he has coached here never had a "care" problem. There is a fundamental coaching problem and communication issues continue to creep up in similar situations in games, on both sides of the ball, but especially on defense. That's on that clown. The Steelers and Ravens game ending drives were not about caring. It was about coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I don't know how you can fire Nagy without firing Pace. Pace is the reason that they're in this mess. Look at what Nagy has been working with. He's had Trubisky, Dalton and Fields. All total scrubs that Pace brought in. He even traded up for Trubisky, passing on Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. Yes, Nagy sucks but Pace is the underlying issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 So its Monday morning, is Nagy still the Bears coach? Not finding any news about his firing, in fact during the game I thought they said the rumor that it was his last game was not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
