It is complete.

So the question is will Matt Nagy get another HC gig before EB?

The Chiefsifization of the Chiefs continues.

Wooo

He’s fine for that role.

Nagy is going to be the OC after this season.

Nagy takes over OC duties next year.. calling my shot

Blah

Probably. He was doomed by going to a dogshit organization.

Hopefully Andy can fix in him what the Bears/Pace broke.

He will tell EB when to speak.

Good.

Some will make a big deal out of this, but it’s no different than what BB has done in NE for years.

He did a great job with Trubisky and Fields. I'm sure he's got lots of great tips for Patrick.

I’m sure most people figured this was coming.

EB and Nagy happened while PMII was getting drunk in Vegas. 9.99 for all the details

Yeah - hard to see any downside to this at all. Might be awkward answering to Bieniemy after being his boss, but I always thought the hierarchy there was pretty much just Andy and then everyone else. So if the checks are in the same ballpark, I don’t see much tension.

This.

:clap:

If Andy retired tomorrow, who would you rather have?

Nagy might get the big chair first. After all, EB has had about 15 interviews for the job this far and still isn’t getting offers.

EB is getting fired mid-season and Nagy will take over his role. YOU READ IT HERE FIRST

EB is never going to be a HC in the NFL. It just isn't happening.

Neither.

Why are people acting like Nagy was a shitty assistant coach? Failing as a head coach doesn't mean shit except that you failed as a head coach.

Buffer between PM and EB?

Hmmm, Reid won't pull that trigger but now Nagy is in the role to move in to OC as the next season ends.

EB can interview for college or NFL without missing a beat

Now we can finally move on to cutting Frank Clark.

Well Trubisky is absolute shit and Fields was supposed to have a similar plan to Mahomes first year except management forced Nagy to play a rookie who was clearly not ready

My problem with that is that Nagy refused to adjust his offense to help Fields succeed.

That's the part that cracked me up on Twitter.

All these Bears fans like "get ready to suck, Mahomes!!!" as though Nagy wasn't his QB coach and OC as a rookie. Or that Nagy didn't get Alex Smith to throw for 4k yards.

I mean it's just odd.

Nagy's a hell of a coach. He may not be a HC (then again, a lot of the mess in Chicago may not have been directly his fault), but there's little arguing with his track record as an offensive assistant.

It's a good get.

Nagy simply doesn't have the power here to effect that. He's fine in QBC role. For that matter, it probably wouldn't matter if he were OC either, even though he'd have control of the offense, because you don't need to dumb down the offense for Mahomes.

I’ll be interested to see the dynamic between Nagy and EB. EB was obviously over Kafka but Nagy probably holds more weight with the experience that he has.

The problem is that Nagy was so damn trapped in the middle.

He had 2 COMPLETELY dissimilar QBs.

There's no system you can install that makes Andy Dalton AND Fields look good simultaneously. He knew he had to develop Fields but he also knew that Fields wasn't ready yet (his play on the field demonstrated that pretty clearly). Additionally, he probably understood he was coaching for his job, so he had to win some games and Dalton was the best opportunity there.

Trying to figure out a system that could allow him to win with Dalton while developing Fields was just impossible. And as a lame duck coach he couldn't just throw Fields to the wolves and write off 2021.

He just didn't have a prayer last season unless Field hit the ground as a guy who could win games at this level. Fields didn't.

That might be a good thing.

Bald guy with a goatee.

Welcome home. Your complementary Camaro is waiting.

Yeah…I’m not sure what the **** Chicago was doing.

I wouldn’t be completely shocked if Nagy ends up Reid’s successor.

Him and Veach are obviously close.

You would have to think that Nagy wouldn’t want to go to a shit organization again. Why not just stick around as OC here until Reid retires and take over this one.

That’s what happens when your coaching staff doesn’t have good communication with the front office.

I don’t think Nagy will be Reid’s successor. I still think that’s Kafkas job.

People want new blood for new fresh ideas I do too. However imo, I look at it like Andy has been in the business a long time and wants to surround himself with people he already knows and yes probably friendships. Nagy is like going to the restaurant and ordering the same food every single time even though every single time you look at the menu and look at all the other delicious choices.

Andy doesn't really want to let go of EB because he is also that comfort feeling, because change is harder in life than keeping the same people around you.

They traded up a spot to insure they would be able to draft Trubisky.....with Mahomes still on the board.

Nagy was doomed before he even got there.

That same dumbass hired Nagy

That’s after they gave an ostrich a big money deal to be their starting QB.

Don't use my logic against me, dammit.

ok

And foolishly traded away several picks to do it. And after opening up the vault to bring in Glennon. That's right up there with Ricky Williams/Herschel Walker.

Then they traded away more picks to get Mack, and even more to get Fields. Sure, Mack is great, and Fields could be great, but they simply had too many holes to fill to trade away picks like a drunk stuffing dollar bills into a stripper's g-string.

Who was our OC when we won SB 54 ?

Nagy has whatever power Reid wants him to have.

Chief win

Yes true, Andy Reid like all great/established HC’s has his long time guys.

However it was reasonable to hope for some infusion of new ideas/perspective with the coaching staff on offense considering their struggles at times to adjust to opposing defenses, highlighted by the second half collapse vs Cincinnati.

Put EB up in the box and let Nagy be the guy who is on the sideline sending in the plays and talking with Mahomes when the O isn't on the field.

I think he gets a bad wrap, he took the Bears to the playoffs twice. And I think the front office misplayed the Mitch deal.

I mean, it's a similar argument for Bienemy.

This.

I have no idea how Pace survived taking Mitch over Pat. Year 2 should have ended his career and Year 3 made it even clearer.

In a weird way im good with this. Another voice in the room that Andy respects might help churn some stuff out.

Let me introduce you to Ted Phillips, CEO and President of Football Operations and the root of all Bears ****ery not named Virginia McCaskey. Who also happens to still be employed.

Well that rules out signing Allen Robinson.

Something about QB coaches. People said Nagy could be Reid’s successor back when he was our QB coach the first time.

Andy's Coaches Orphanage

He’s a QB coach. He wouldn’t even be coaching Robinson.

Nagy isn’t the play caller, or WR coach.

Got Andy's successor in house IMO as well.

No it doesn’t.

Andy and Pat could still talk him into it. Nagy will be in the QB room so Robinson won’t have to deal with him mutch.

You think that matters to him?

Wasn't Nagy's last game as an OC in KC a playoff loss where the offense scored a whopping 7 points?

I’m pretty sure he’d be just fine being coached by Reid and getting the ball thrown to him by Mahomes.

You know what? I think I like the way you spelled that. It seems to make more sense to me that way.

I'm going to go ahead an adopt that it my writing style. Thanks mutch!

The year that he developed Mahomes behind Smith.

Patrick Mahomes > Alex Smith

Nagy should be welcomed back with open arms.

Dude got Smith’s value to its highest so that we could trade him away.

I'm fine with Nagy coming back as QB coach and trust Reid and the Chiefs front office but am pumping the brakes on him being Reid's successor.

The Bears are a loser shop, but dude firmly contributed to his own firing as HC. Let's give him a couple seasons to demonstrate he's ready for the big chair again.

Nagy did well enough as a QB coach to get promoted to OC. He did well enough as OC to get promoted to HC. He’ll be fine as a QB coach again. Plus Reid’s still here, so all that matters is having someone familiar with Reid and his system.

Like this for a few reasons. Nagy is an actual former QB and seemed to be good in the QB coach role in his former stint. Second, as a former head coach, we should expect his voice to carry more weight than Kafka's did. Anything that elevates other ideas in the room, I'm a fan. Also...there is no way that Nagy is reporting to EB. With all the sideline issues, I DO wonder whether they put Nagy or EB in the booth. EB in the booth might de-dramatize things.
