It’s safe to say Matt Nagy is Public Enemy No. 1 in Chicago. Sunday’s loss to the Ravens — the Bears’ fifth straight — certainly didn’t help matters, and fans are making their displeasure clear.
Not only did Bears fans start a “Fire Nagy” chant at Soldier Field at the end of Sunday’s loss to the Ravens, but Bulls fans started their own “Fire Nagy” chant when their team was getting blown out Monday at the United Center.
But it didn’t stop there.
During a Class 6A semifinals playoff game between Lake Forest and Cary-Grove on Saturday, those same “Fire Nagy” chants were started by Cary-Grove’s student section. It just so happens that Nagy’s son plays for Lake Forest, so it’s no coincidence.

Nagy understands that those boos and chants come with the territory. But there’s a time and place. While professional sporting events are fair game, starting those chants at his son’s football game isn’t cool.
But it appears that fans aren’t the only ones fed up with Nagy. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, there are an “overwhelming number” of Bears players who want Nagy gone.
There are plenty of Bears fans who want Nagy gone but also understand that it’s not cool to start those chants at his son’s football game. And they weren’t happy.
