After five losses in a row for the Chicago Bears, head coach Matt Nagy got the must-win against the Detroit Lions. Still, he could soon be shown the door with his chair.

Munich – The second head coach swap of this NFL season is probably anything but off the table. As “CBS” reporter Jason La Canfora reports, Matt Nagy may well have to fear for his job with the Chicago Bears.

Contrary to reports in recent days, a dismissal after the Thanksgiving game was not an option, but within the franchise this step could soon be considered inevitable.

Chicago Bears threaten worst season under Nagy

With an unconvincing 16-14 over the still winless Detroit Lions, Nagy, who has been in charge since 2018, had failed to make a case.

Still no real development can be seen in the team, in the face of a 4-7 record, the worst year under the 43-year-old, who has worked in the NFL since 2008 and led the team to the playoffs twice, is looming.

Nagy successor might have to think more offensively

La Canfora recalls that many fans had already called for Nagy to be cut last season.

Especially with Justin Fields as the freshman quarterback, the Bears should be thinking about a coach where the offense is more effective. This season, only the Jacksonville Jaguars and Lions have scored fewer points than Chicago.

OCs of Buccaneers and Patriots as candidates

Three offensive coordinators are named as candidates to succeed him: Byron Leftwich of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Josh McDaniels of the New England Patriots and Brian Daboll of the Buffalo Bills.

There is also interest in Pat Fitzgerald from Northwestern University, but the head coach, who has been in place since 2006, is not interested in a move given a long-term contract extension.

GM Pace may also be out of a job

According to the report, general manager Ryan Pace should not feel too safe either – especially in view of various blunders at the quarterback position.

But will there be a quick shake-up in the Windy City? With the Arizona Cardinals and the Green Bay Packers, the Bears have games against the two top teams in the NFC ahead of them – so it would be the most difficult start imaginable for a new coach. For Nagy, on the other hand, it could be his very last chance.
