Bears unsure about defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's future

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- New Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy was noncommittal about the club’s chances of retaining veteran defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, whose exclusive negotiating window with the Bears expired on Tuesday.

“We all are aware of that situation and that’s a very important hire for me,” Nagy said during his introductory news conference. “There are a lot of things that go into that decision, and Vic and I have talked, we understand that. We understand the situation, but that’s something we’re going to attack here after we get going here with today. We’re going to attack that full steam ahead and were going to make a clear decision about what’s best for Vic and what’s best for this organization.
