My hope for Nagy...

On as much evidence as the fans who crucify him have. ?

But there is legit evidence to some of the narratives you are talking about. We can’t help that you don’t see it.

I think Nagy is a better HC than he is an OC....i'll just leave it at that.

Wouldn't a good head coach fire his OC if he performed like Nagy?

Edit: nm, you said he's a "better" hc, not a good hc. I agree

Back at you, which was my point.

Back at you, which was my point.

And like I asked. What narratives are you talking about?

For me the cold hard reality is this:

Matt Nagy certainly isn't without flaw.

But he isn't as bad as some fans say either.

Fields was his guy.

I am willing to let Fields be the referendum on Nagy.

We saw this with Trubisky backers. Some people refuse to face reality and will ride the sinking ship into the deep blue.

If you don’t have any semblance of a passing threat, defenses aren’t going to respect the run. And with our OzL woes, we couldn’t run well anyway. No way we could just line up and beat the guys across the LOS. Short yardage was our worst because of our players. Nagy had to try to find inventive ways to get around those limitations.

Nagy has a LOT to prove still. But there’s a lot people hold against him that there wasn’t anything he could do about.

It would not surprise me if something changed dramatically this year, and we all realized it WAS Trubisky and the weak O-line.

Maybe just maybe, getting Jenkins and playing him at LT, having a healthy Daniels, let Mustipher continue to get them all lined up correctly, and let Ifedi start where he left off at RT. I think Andy is a better passer than Trubisky, but he is never going to beat you over the top any longer, and Justin is a rookie that should not be asked to be a superstar.

All of this leads back to trying to get a running game going, but Nagy has a tendency to abandon the run too quickly, so he is going to have to mature and be patient.
