DABEARSDABOMB Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Mark Konkol - who evidently is a old school reporter is indicating Nagy will coach his final game against the Lions. Will be fired after the game regardless of outcome. I can't believe this is true and if it is the case - you just do it (short week or not)...but if true, only the Bears could botch relieving its head coach this poorly.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted November 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Bears handling this really poorly - no one got in front of this and Tabor/Nagy ended up on the hot seat. Fact that no one in org has denied this other than the HC is just poor. Either go out and say what it is or get out and deny it so the HC & ST coordinator don't have to. Quote Bears coach Matt Nagy on report that he's been told he'll be fired after Thursday's game: "That is not accurate. I have great communication with ownership, George [McCaskey] and Ted [Phillips] and Ryan [Pace], and I have not had any discussions [on that]." — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) November 23, 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue here is the leak to the press if its true. But at no point normally does an employee know he is getting fired until the axe actually falls. The only difference here is Nagy doesn't have a mysterious meeting with HR at 9am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace's silence is deafening... 100% - it seems like this is true and Bears just had an awful leak. Nagy even said they haven't spoken so it seems like something is going to go down shortly and the only part wrong with the source was that the team quietly informed him it was it.

adam Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I would be surprised if the rumors are accurate. I bet it was more like "if you lose to the Lions, that is your last game". So we will see. Tabor has already been the interim HC, so why would they wait until after Thanksgiving. That doesn't make sense. His ego clearly got in the way, I always thought he was a decent HC, but arguably the worst OC in the league. He basically took away his own safety net, someone else to blame. If he had Lazor as OC and play caller and he was completely hands off, he could've fired Lazor. Just goes to show you how blind he was. The one thing I don't like is people making comments while he is at his kid's football game or in public in general. That is messed up. He may be a bad coach, but that shouldn't cross into his personal life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bad enough he was not only getting called out by the fans during last week’s loss but I’ve seen videos where they were doing it at Bulls and Blackhawks games too. We get it, he sucks as a coach. But he’s still a decent guy and deserves to be able to enjoy being with his family in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply have Tabor take over. Nagy seems like a good guy. He's just a bad head coach. The Nagy family doesn't deserve this type of treatment. No one does.

I've been hearing a lot about them giving Pace a promotion and him hiring the next GM. We may have to accept the fact that the family loves him and have some hope that he and the new GM are addition by subtraction with Teddy out of the football side. One more layer between the family and the field is definitely a positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they’ll want Phillips to close the new stadium deal as that stuff is his strength afterward I could see Phillips retiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it not be fitting for Nagy's tenure as Bears head coach to be the catalyst to bring down the whole house of cards. Goes from hated too revered, for changing the entire franchise unknowingly, just like his offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 1 hour ago, Alaskan Grizzly said: Maybe not immediately “after” the game: There are so many rumors going on about this. The theories are: 1. Nagy was told this is his last year regardless of the remainder of the season, he then said he would give the team one more game, then accept his fate on Friday. 2. Nagy was told if he loses, he won't have a job on Friday. 3. Nagy was told Thursday is his last game regardless. 4. Nagy was not told anything, but the FO has discussed his termination at the end of the year. the most probable one: 5. Nagy was not told anything, but the FO discussed his termination on Monday and was going to let him know on Friday. That seems the most probable based on how the report was worded.
