For three years, Dave Ragone’s job was essentially to be “Mitch’s guy.”
He was the quarterbacks coach when the Bears drafted Mitch Trubisky second overall in 2017 and withstood the coaching change from John Fox to Matt Nagy. Sure, Ragone tutored any and all quarterbacks on the roster, but his primary task was to build up Trubisky.
It’s not that simple anymore.
In the last year, Ragone has watched Trubisky go into a tailspin. He plummeted to 28th in the NFL in passer rating, and Nagy called out his grip on the playbook and ability to read coverage — factors Ragone tried to help.
