Chuck Pagano is retiring from coaching in the NFL

After plenty of waiting on January 12th after news broke that the Chicago Bears were going to make some big decisions, the first big news came out. Bears’ defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano is retiring from coaching.

This will now be the third time in four seasons that the Bears will be hiring a defensive coordinator. Pagano came in in 2019 after Vic Fangio left to become the head coach of the Denver Broncos.

The Bears’ defense under Pagano regressed greatly from the 2018 season in which the Bears had Fangio.
