I understand that he was probably shocked by what happened at the beginning of the season. His QB sucks, his OL was playing terrible football.
Not buying it. He is literally the last person on Earth that should be shocked by what's transpired. He saw these guys up close every day, behind closed doors seeing things none of us could see, all off-season long. Was he hiding in his office playing Madden all training camp while people were reporting how bad Trubisky looked? Was he absent during the entire install of the run game?
The unfortunate reality is that we're seeing the real Nagy now. He was coaching on easy mode last year thanks to those 36 defensive turnovers and being a first year HC that nobody knew what to expect from. Now that the defense isn't gifting him all those turnovers and everyone has caught up to his scheme we're seeing what Matt Nagy truly is as a coach and sadly it's not looking good.
It shouldn't take 8 fucking weeks to realize, "gee my QB isn't developing as much as we hoped he would and my offensive line can't execute my run game at all... I should make some adjustments.."
And worse yet, we're
still waiting for those adjustments. The way he handled the Chargers game blows my fucking mind. It's like he's purposely antagonizing the media and fanbase. Comes out in I formation and runs for 10 yards... next 4 plays it's right back to the shotgun RPO shit and punt. Come out in the second half and march down the field with dual back I formations and put it in for 6... next drive right back to the shotgun RPO shit and never go back to what just worked.
Just mind boggling management of this team. To me it seems like he's simply too married to his scheme and has too much pride and ego to put it aside and do what's best for the team. People want to act like he's got Jonathan Quinn at QB holding him back. Give me a fucking break. He has nobody but himself to blame for this mess. He could easily adjust the game plans and playcalling to work around the limitations on this roster if he wanted to. He just refuses to do it.
