The Bears will not make changes to the top.
Bears general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy will be back for the 2021 season, confirmed Bears president George McCaskey. McCaskey said he was impressed by Pace and Nagy’s work during the 2020 season.
McCaskey also expressed faith in Bears president Ted Phillips. For his part, Phillips acknowledged that many Bears fans want to see major changes within the franchise, but everyone at the front of the organization is committed to making it work with the current power structure.
The Bears revealed that neither Nagy nor Pace received a contract extension. So there is no doubt that their jobs are at stake this year.
The Bears are on the side of Pace and Nagy because they made it to the playoffs two of the past three years, but the Bears haven’t won a playoff game since the 2010 season, and they enter this offseason with several important issues, the biggest one being who will be the starting defender in 2021.
These questions need to be answered, but today Bears fans have just found out that the team is keeping going.
