With a loss to the Vikings in the last game of the 2021 season, Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy ended his fourth season with the team with a 34-31 record.

Nagy and Bears general manager Ryan Pace were fired the next day.

Here’s a look back at how Nagy’s coaching record compares, season-by-season and amongst 15 former Bears coaches.


Nagy’s record in the playoffs

Nagy lost both games the Bears played under his leadership in the postseason.

Cody Parkey’s infamous “double doink” 43-yard field goal attempt on Jan. 6, 2019, cemented a 16-15 loss to the sixth-seeded Philadelphia Eagles in a wild-card Ggame.

After advancing to the playoffs for the second time in three seasons, the Bears lost to the New Orleans Saints, 21-9, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Jan. 10, 2021.


Nagy’s record compared with other Bears coaches

George Halas, founder and owner of the team, still has the best record among the 16 Bears head coaches.
