Bears general manager Ryan Pace was asked what he considered the strength of his team.
“I’d start with this — I think our strength is our coaching staff,” he said Tuesday. “I think we have a strong coaching staff that we built upon this offseason. But yeah, I mean, our defense is the strength of our team.”
The coaching answer was a strange one — the Bears have had little continuity during Matt Nagy’s head-coaching career. Earlier this year, Sean Desai was promoted from safeties coach to be Nagy’s third defensive coordinator in four seasons. Nagy has employed two different offensive coordinators, two run-game coordinators and two pass-game coordinators.
