4. Matt Nagy

Remember at the end of September when the Chicago Bears appeared to be on the winning track as a top contender in the NFC?

Since winning three in a row, the Bears have lost each of their last three games, and if Matt Nagy thought his job was safe, the head coach could receive a major wake-up call over these next two months.

With the kind of defense Nagy is fortunate enough to work with, Chicago shouldn’t be sitting below .500 heading into their weekend meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles.

And if this wasn’t all frustrating enough, questions are beginning to emerge over whether Mitch Trubisky is the right answer for this offense under center since his 2019 numbers look like an absolute joke.

After all of the success from last season, Nagy appeared to have a bright future in Chicago, and while this could very well still turn out to be the case, the results at this point are somewhat surprising.

If the Bears come up short with a fourth loss in a row to the Eagles, Nagy will easily be on this list again next week around this time, especially since Chicago can’t afford many more losses with the NFC North race heating up.
