The Chicago Bears have become the second NFL team to officially fill their head coaching vacancy. Former Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy is the man that has been chosen to replace John Fox and take a promising roster to the next level.The 39-year-old was the final man to interview with the organisation on Sunday, just a day removed from the Chiefs painful playoff loss. The Bears announced the move on Twitter on Monday afternoon:

Young Talent

General Manager Ryan Pace, who had his contract extended last week, has opted for a young offensive mind, in part to nurture and develop Mitchell Trubisky. It also represents a move away from the defensive identity that John Fox imparted on the team in his three years in charge, and is a positive step in keeping up with league wide trends. 

Nagy, a former quarterback at Delaware and in arena football, has spent the last five years in different roles on Andy Reid's staff, culminating in him leading one of the most innovative and explosive offenses in football this season. 

Whilst he didn't call plays up until the final few weeks of the season, Reid has sung his praises as an influence behind the scenes and as an excellent head coach in the making. 

QB Work

According to NFL.com's Tom Pelissero, those who have been in and around the Chiefs organization have said the work Nagy has done with both Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes has been excellent. With Smith having his most prolific and efficient season in Kansas City in 2017, it is hard to argue against that. 

Nagy helped re-energize a rather stagnant Chiefs offense down the stretch this season. Despite a poor showing in the second half against Tennessee on Saturday, his stock was on the up and Chicago could have secured a return to winning ways with a shrewd hire here. 

The Bears acted swiftly to get their man and likely needed to as Nagy interviewed with the Colts, and former Chiefs colleague Chris Ballard too.

Three seasons of ten losses or more in a row meant it was time up for John Fox, now it's Nagy's turn to try and end Chicago's 7-year playoff drought.
