Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy has denied reports that Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions will be his last with the team.
"That is not accurate," Nagy told reporters Tuesday. "I have great communication with ownership, George [McCaskey] and Ted [Phillips] and Ryan [Pace], and I have not had any discussions [on that]."
Mark Konkol of Patch.com reported that Nagy will be fired on Friday after the upcoming Thanksgiving Day game and that the coach was informed of the decision Monday.
The Bears have never fired a coach midseason in franchise history.
