I’ve known Matt Nagy since 2010, when I was a personnel intern for the Eagles and he was a low-level coaching assistant. We were the lowest guys on the totem pole in Philadelphia, but it was clear early on that Nagy was going to be a big-time coach. He was one of those guys who just “had it” on the field with the players.



Matt shot up the ranks quickly, and was Andy Reid’s offensive coordinator by 2016. His ascension was not shocking to anyone that had been around him. Flying up the Andy Reid coaching tree means one thing – you will be a head coach sooner than later.



So simply put, I love the hire by the Bears. Am I biased? Sure, but I am typically tough on coaches. I know what the good ones look like. I worked for Andy, covered Jim Harbaugh and now I cover Kyle Shanahan. I’ve seen terrible head coaches like Jim Tomsula and Dennis Allen, and fraudulent front-runners like Jack Del Rio.



Matt Nagy is wired like the good...
