Matt Nagy is hardly willing to change anything
We have already seen first-hand how unwilling Nagy is to change his playcalling duties. He has done a horrible job playcalling for the past two years and it took all the way until Week 10 of this season for him to be willing to hand those playcalling duties off.
Outside of that, Nagy is stubborn with his scheme. In a recent study I wrote, I highlighted that Nagy ran an offense that was not his normal offense in the first three weeks and it worked! It was a scheme that was a heavy outside zone with play action to take some pressure off of Trubisky. They established the run rushing for over 130 yards in every game and won all three of those games with great offensive output.
As soon as the plug was pulled on Trubisky, so was that winning scheme. Stubborn Nagy went right back to his scheme that he believes is best. What was the result with Foles? Zero games of over 100 rushing yards, low scoring games, and just a plain, bad offense.
Nagy has constantly tried to fit square shapes into circular holes. He tried to make Trubisky into a shotgun quarterback who sits in the pocket going through many progressions. He’s tried to make this offensive line work for an offense that they just aren’t suited for. He has tried time and time again to make Rashaad Coward a relevant offensive lineman. He has done horribly at that.
He didn’t like Mike Davis. Mike Davis has now stepped in for Christian McCaffrey and done great in Carolina for them. He faded Trey Burton who now is reunited with this former Eagles’ coach and is getting solid numbers in Indianapolis. This is going to be a common occurrence when players leave and do well elsewhere.
