3 NFL head coaches on the hot seat after Week 3
By John Buhler
Matt Nagy should fire himself before angry Chicagoans storm Halas Hall
The Chicago Bears made a GOB Bluth-level huge mistake by letting head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace get another season together. It does not matter that Pace traded up to draft Justin Fields out of Ohio State. It is in his DNA to trade up for a quarterback. In a game all of Chicagoland was excited for, the Bears averaged 1.1 yards per play vs. the Cleveland Browns.
For years, we saw Mitchell Trubisky not even approach his wingspan in terms of yards per attempt. Fields look like he was quarterbacking Vanderbilt going up against the school he peaced out on after the 2018 college season. The Bears were a playoff team a year ago, but remain a horrendous watch on television because their offense is blander than Dan Orlovsky’s palate.
While Fields did not walk out of the back of the end zone for a safety, that is pretty much what Nagy needs to do at this point. It is a lost cause. We are approaching Gus Bradley, Bill O’Brien and Dan Quinn levels of inevitably for the Bears head coach. The longer Nagy coaches this team, the more the Bears fan base will suffer. Chicagoans are nice people and do not deserve this nonsense.
If the Bears lose to Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions at home next week, just pull the plug.
