Head coaches are evaluated in one area: their record. Nagy got off to a terrific start with a 12-4 season in 2018, when he was named NFL coach of the year. It has been a .500 roller coaster since, and now he has the unenviable task of needing to produce victories while also developing his handpicked quarterback in Justin Fields. If the Bears win while Fields sits, Nagy will be headed down the right path. If the Bears lose, no matter who is at quarterback, Nagy could be in for a bumpy ride. The extra factor in evaluating the coach this year, at least for Chairman George McCaskey, will be the development of Fields. As with all head coaches, the most important factor is how things shape up in the win/loss column. Nagy is signed through 2022, so that makes this a critical season.
