BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – Dear Miss Manners:
Is it appropriate to hang a nickname on your boss, an NFL head coach, when he barely knows you and you’re still getting know him?

Dear Befuddled:
In polite society, probably best to wait a bit. But this is the NFL and if the head coach likes it, then go name away!
And Matt Nagy definitely has zero problem with some good-natured moniker-making. His players like what they term ‘his swag’ (that’s ‘swagger’ in the NFL’s version of Urban Dictionary), that’s morphed into a handle for him and he sees that sort of thing as a positive on the attitude/personality side of this team.
