Sportsnaut logo Report: Chicago Bears to ‘clean house’ following 2020 season

The Chicago Bears started the 2020 season off hot, rolling to a 5-1 record and looking like a Super Bowl LV contender. With the team now heading into Week 14 with a 5-7 record, change is coming to Chicago.

 Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports It looks like it's the end of the road for Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy.
During the team’s six-game losing streak, changes at quarterback and to the offensive play-calling haven’t slowed down the skid. For head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace, who came into 2020 on the hot seat, the clock might be running out.

According to Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline, indications are the Chicago Bears will clean house when the NFL’s regular season concludes.

Sitting at 5-7, it’s unlikely Chicago can turn things around in time to compete for the NFL playoffs. As a result, if the Bears allow Nagy and Pace to remain employed for the remainder of the season, both the head coach and general manager could be axed on the NFL’s Black Monday.

Of course, there’s no guarantee either man makes it to the end of the regular season. The Houston Texans kicked off this season’s firing cycle by terminating head coach/general manager Bill O’Brien.

The Texans aren’t the only team to clean house during the season. In October, the Atlanta Falcons fired head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff. After Thanksgiving Day, the Detroit Lions axed head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn.

Chicago could take the same approach, firing both of its top football minds before the season ends. Another option would be to follow the Jacksonville Jaguars path, firing the general manager and keeping the head coach until the regular season concludes.

The Bears hired Nagy, who served as the Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator (2016-17), in 2018 with the hope he would turn this club into a perennial contender.

After posting a 12-4 record in his first season, winning Coach of the Year honors, Nagy’s squad has gone 13-15 since.

Of course, one decision will define both Nagy and Pace’s tenure in Chicago.

Gee Lee, I wonder how long it took that guy to figure that out? I think everybody knows Nagy is toast, the question is does Pace go with him out the door? For me if you fire one (Nagy) they both gotta go. Pace should be banned from pro football just for pulling the Trubisky trade.

I view the Trubisky fiasco as even being worse then the Vikings / Dallas fleecing.

I was thinking the Christian Ponder reach was right up there, but not as bad as Trubisky (because Patrick Mahomes was on the board for the taking).

[dutchboy]

If you review the 2017 draft there were some big NFL names taken. Mahomes was 10th, Deshon Jackson went after Mahomes, TJ Watt came out of that draft. Some pretty big names. No matter how you slice it the Bears whiffed on that pick. But, it wasn't so much the pick as to what they gave up to move up there to get him.

Oh well, thats football.

7.5 road favorites, does that mean road kill???  just askin....   

[glenn57]

7.5 road favorites, does that mean road kill???  just askin....   

[Lee Borgersen]

7.5 road favorites, does that mean road kill???  just askin....   

Why yes dat's exactly what it means actually. I'm figureing dat day came up wit dat number after noticing how much road killed (Vikes) dat da bears left on da field from der last game wit dem Vikes.

OK ....Quick question here.

Who would you like ta see advance in da playoffs between Da Bears OR? Da Packers

[glenn57]

OK ....Quick question here.

Who would you like ta see advance in da playoffs between Da Bears &  Da Packers

loaded question!!!!!

[LPS]

That is a tough question Lee.  I admit that it aint the Vikes going anywhere.  I guess to see them be a serious threat I would have to say the Packers.  It would be a gas to see your Bears kick ass and make it though.  I will root for them if they make it Lee.

[Lee Borgersen]

OK ....Quick question here.

loaded question!!!!!

I'll have you know smarty pants dat I never start    Till NOON!

[dutchboy]

Assuming the Bears make the play-offs............um, no I can't even make that stretch.

[Steve-o]

So another hapless NFC north team (not named the Green Bay Packers) backs its way into the playoffs.  And it would have been the Vikings had da Bears not trounced da Vikes in Week 15, with Montgomery hanging 146 yards rushing on them.   

All in all, I'm not dissatisfied with the result.  The Saints killed the Vikings in Week 16, handing Zimm his worst beat down ever.  Some suffering Vikings fans might have wanted a chance at redemption.  I saw nothing when the Vikes played the Lions to make me think things would be improved for them in the playoffs. 

In fact, I'm a little pi$$ed off that the bogus roughing the passer call might have cost the Vikes a couple of spots in the draft order.  If I was Zimm, I would have challenged the call on the field.   

Good luck to you and y'er Bears, Lee.     Y'er goona need it.

[LPS]

Ya I pretty much agree Snow.  We wouldn't have gotten anywhere even if we backed in.  The D needs a lot of help this off season.

[Gunner55]

So does the OL!! Pierce, Hunter, Barr, & even the last 4-5 games Kendricks missed REALLY hurt the D IMO. Pierce & Hunter didn't play at all & Barr got hurt after the 1st 2-3 games.
