Basically, the gist of this story is that the Bears' offense is too predictable under Helfrich, and that despite Nagy calling plays, the offense really is modeled after Helfrich's Oregon design, which is dead.
The offense and its key players would do better under a more traditional offense, it posits. The story suggests the Bears hire Jay Gruden to take over the offense, since Andy Dalton and Kirk Cousins flourished under his offense.

An excerpt:
Matt Nagy could trust somebody like Jay Gruden
Nagy needs somebody who has done this job before. Somebody who had success at the NFL level and also can speak quarterback. One such man happens to be currently on the free agent market. Jay Gruden recently concluded his time as head coach of the Washington Redskins after seven seasons. Though his run ultimately ended in failure, he had a good deal of offensive success during that time period. Not to mention his three years as an offensive coordinator in Cincinnati prior to that.
Both Andy Dalton and Kirk Cousins reached the Pro Bowl under his tutelage. He’s been in the NFL since 2002 and won a Super Bowl as an assistant in Tampa Bay. Not only is he a former quarterback himself, but he also coached them extensively. He’s learned how to run professional offenses from his brother Jon who is the current head coach in Oakland. During his time running offenses, his groups have finished 12th or higher in points scored four times.
If the Bears want a guy who knows how to have offensive success in the NFL, they can do a lot worse. Whether they have the capacity to make such a bold change? That is the big question that only Nagy can answer.
