Matt Nagy working as though he will coach Bears' final two games
Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy has been in the hot seat for pretty much the entire 2021 season and was presumably going to get the boot now that the team has been eliminated from playoff contention.
After Sunday's surprising win over the Seattle Seahawks, some are wondering if the expected firing has been put on hold until the regular season concludes.
Nagy, at least for his part, is continuing on as if he is finishing out the season.
Whether that changes as the week goes on is anyone's guess, and with the Bears (5-10) only posting back-to-back wins once this season it's fair to think that Nagy will be out the door soon anyway, whether it's this week or at the conclusion of the regular season.
To be fair, some of Nagy's harshest critics were, in fact, impressed by the gutsy performance he and backup quarterback Nick Foles put on to help push the Bears to victory. However, Sunday's win wasn't enough to save an entire season.
Now, it's just a matter of waiting to see how long Nagy operates under this assumption and if he really is still on the sidelines for the final two games of the regular season.
