With one game left in the 2021 NFL season, it’s believed that Week 18 will be Matt Nagy’s final game as the Bears’ head coach. After four years, a 34-30 record, and a total collapse after starting 5-1 in 2020, the Nagy era is “likely” over.
After 16 games this season, the Bears are 6-10, in the midst of their first losing season since 2017. The decision-making from Nagy plays a key role in the poor record this team has posted. Some of those decisions include play-calling, not taking field goals when given the chance, and creating a quarterback carousel.
This season, Bears quarterbacks have 15 passing touchdowns and 17 interceptions throughout 16 games. David Montgomery has thrown an interception too, which would total 18 interceptions overall for the 2021 Bears.
In reference to last season, in nine games, Mitchell Trubisky had 16 passing touchdowns and just eight interceptions. What a difference one year makes.
Even though the Bears are on a two-game winning streak, the page on the Matt Nagy era is going to be closed after next week. If that is true, the team can move on and build a winning culture, with the right coach for Justin Fields.
Like always, Nagy’s hot seat will be on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the coolest and 10 being the hottest seat for Nagy.
