Chicago Bears: 5 things Matt Nagy did wrong in 2019

3. Fake Accountability. 

Coach Nagy is the king of fake accountability. After every game, he pretends to take the blame for everything that happened. As of late, he has started to be tougher to the media about players. Before he calls out players, he always says the words “that starts with me”.

Nagy has gotten a lot of free-passes from the media but now people are starting to see right through him. This season has had a lot of frustration but he has to find a way to keep it away from the media.

Press conferences after games are the worst after a loss. Coaches might get a chance to say a few words to their players but they’re rushed right to the press conference room. He doesn’t know the full-vibe of the locker room right away. Nagy has a lot of assumptions.

As the season went on, he has gotten angrier quickly during these press conferences. The biggest one that stands out to me is his defense of himself not giving up play-calling. He also double-downs on a lot of boneheaded comments.

Whether or not people believe what he says, he isn’t like any other coach. He brings this different presence to press conferences than any other coach. It’s one of those “I’m right, you’re wrong” approaches.

As a young head coach, you’re not always going to be right. That is where as a team, everyone gets together and learns together. The Bears are a young football team. They still have the pieces to get better and be more successful in 2020. It starts from the front office and the coaches.

In 2020, Nagy needs to stop taking fake accountability before throwing players under the bus. I like a coach that is hard on his players to an extent. There’s just a line that I personally feel like Nagy tries to cross after every loss.
