Life came at former Bears coach Matt Nagy fast during his time in Chicago. After being hired to replace John Fox in 2018, Nagy burst onto the NFL scene as a first-time head coach, finishing his rookie season with a 12-4 record and winning the 2018 NFL Coach of the Year Award.
Nagy was on a rocket ship to superstardom in Chicago, but back-to-back 8-8 seasons followed by a 6-11 campaign in 2021 ended his tenure with the Bears after just four years and a 34-31 record.
Part of Nagy's undoing was his horrendous record against the Green Bay Packers. He went 1-7 against the Bears' biggest rival, an unacceptable result if a head coach in Chicago wants to keep their job.
Nagy's ups and downs with the Bears make him as qualified as anyone to offer Chicago's new head coach, Ben Johnson, some words of wisdom in the 'do as I say, not as I did' category.
Check out Matt Nagy's awesome advice to Johnson from Super Bowl Opening Night:
"Win, and beat the Packers," Nagy said.
Spot. On.
