Matt Nagy thought about taking a year off after the Bears fired the head coach in January as part of a franchise-wide housecleaning.
But after spending a few weeks on vacation, Nagy decided to use the way his Bears career ended as motivation at his next stop — which, conveniently enough, was the same as his previous one. The Chiefs — for whom Nagy served as offensive coordinator before Ryan Pace named himhead coach in 2018 — chose Nagy as their new quarterbacks coach and senior assistant in late February.
A day after the Bears’ 6-11 season ended, chairman George McCaskey, on the advice of consultant Bill Polian, fired both Nagy and Pace.
