Matt Nagy isn’t worried about his job security after Week 12 loss to Packers

Anytime an NFL team is on a five-game losing streak in a season trending toward back-to-back disappointing years, it’s natural to ask whether a change at head coach is required.

For Bears coach Matt Nagy, who’s just under three seasons removed from being the NFL’s Coach of the Year (2018), job security isn’t on his mind following Chicago’s 41-25 thumping at the hands of the Green Bay Packers in Week 12’s Sunday Night Football.

The loss dropped the Bears to 5-6 after beginning the season 5-1, but Nagy’s confidence remains intact.

Sunday night’s loss brought Nagy’s career record with the Bears to 25-18, which isn’t terrible but has failed to meet the expectations set by his first season on the job when he led Chicago to 12 wins, an NFC North championship, and a home playoff game.

The NFL has long been known as a “what have you done for me lately league,” and Nagy’s record over the last two seasons currently stands at 13-14. The Bears’ offense has been atrocious under his watch, and the defense appears to be running out of gas. His program is deteriorating in real-time.

Nagy isn’t worried about his job stability, but he should be. If the losses continue piling up this year, the Bears will have no choice but to clean house and move on.
