    Bears hire Cheifs OC Matt Nagy as their next head coach.  Not sure how I feel about this hire.  Definitely not who my first choice was.

    I'll give him a chance, but it's not the guy I thought they would go after.  Pro and Con at the same time, he's spent his entire career under Andy Reid I believe.....

    Don't get me wrong I'll give the guy a chance.  I'm more surprised by the hire than anything.  I wish him luck and hopefully he can get the Bears going in the right direction.

    I didn't even know Nagy was on their radar.  Of all the names that have come out that the Bears might be looking at I don't recall seeing this guy.  Who knows how this will work out, but I do hope they can retain Fangio.
    Nagy seems to be a likable guy and led a powerful offense, but Andy Reid had the final say and called the plays.  
    We shall see...

    Nagy took over as play caller for the last few games this season and the Chiefs finished strong.  Hopefully he's the right guy.

    Just read Fangio is expected to stay on. That’s a good move.

    I'm not sure he's the guy they were after, I just think at this point, head coach of the Chicago Bears i's not a very desirable destination for many coaches.

    Chiefs may have finished the regular season strong, but laid a massive egg in the second half of their wild card game.  Nagy admits he makes those calls, and he stunk.

    So, it looks like Fangio is staying put and now Nagy is trying to get Dave Taub to come over/come back to the Bears.  That would be HUGE!

    Then who were they after???  Who knows if Nagy is the right guy, but I haven't heard or seen anything indicating that they offered someone else and were turned down. 

    Bears job probably isn't the most desirable in the league, but it's still a pretty good job.  They have a massive fanbase that is absolutely dying for a winner.  Chicago is a Bears town....when the Bears are good, this whole city goes wild.

    Fangio staying would be awesome.  I hadn't heard anything about Taub coming back...that would be great.  Special teams have been a struggle since he left.

    Yes, would love to see Fangio stay.  The defense is certainly moving in the right direction.  I'd love to see Taub, Fangio and Nagy running the show.   Now we just need some guys that can play football.

    Exactly.  Really nothing to lose for Nagy.  If he's a dud, he's just another in a long line of duds.  If he actually can win and perhaps lead them to a Championship, Nagy's name is going to be right up there with Ditka's.

    Fangio is coming back!  Great news.  That D should just keep getting better.

    Awesome to see Urlacher get in the HOF on his first try.  That guy was so fucking good....loved watching him play.

    Was really hoping for Nelson, but kinda knew the Colts were going to take him at 6. 

    But I do really like the Roquan Smith pick...he was awesome at Georgia.  He should be able to step in a play in the middle right away.

    Agreed with all this. With Nelson gone I love this pick. I wish they would have kept Meredith, but overall the Bears arrow is definitely pointing up.

    So Roquan Smith is the only unsigned rookie in the NFL.  Just get this guy signed and on the field already!

    No shit. But both sides do have a point. He’s concerned about his money and this new rule albeit necessary does seem to have the potential to piss a lot of people off.
