Let’s all be honest: there’s no such thing as a sure thing at head coach. Even Bill Belichick, the single greatest coach of all time, was fired at one point.
I say that because there’s just no way of knowing and that needs to be front and center. Was he the right hire? Maybe and no one can say otherwise. Was he a smart hire? He sure seems like it, even if you know nothing about Nagy but only where he came from. Andy Reid’s last hired protege won the Super Bowl. The Bears simply have to get the Trubisky pick right, and grabbing Nagy brings aboard an open offensive mind to do the job.
The beauty of sitting under Reid is that he is one of the NFL’s single best teachers—of coaches, of players alike. He’s also modeled humility for Nagy, and as a first-time head coach, he’s going to need to clearly discern what he knows and what he does not. If he’s like his former boss, he will lean into the trusted voices around him as well as his significant strengths, which could really help Trubisky and his surrounding staff turn the corner.
