Matt Nagy is entering year 4 as the head coach of the Chicago Bears.

He has yet to coach a season where the Bears have had a losing record but after back-to-back 8-8 seasons, Nagy was firmly on the hot seat in the second half of last year.

The Bears opted to hang on to Nagy and via ProFootballTalk, Chicago's head coach believes those who have been on the roster for a few years now will finally have a grasp of his offense.

“When I first got here . . . I explained to everybody that this offense, it takes a few years to get going,” Nagy said, via Mark Potash of the Chicago Sun-Times. “We saw that in Kansas City because it took a few years, not just with the players that were coming in and were drafted, but the scheme — them learning it and understanding it. After three or four years, it really started picking up and going.”

While Nagy references the time it took the Chiefs to figure out the offense when he was in Kansas City working under Andy Reid, it is worth pointing out the records for KC in those first four years with Reid were: 11-5, 9-7, 11-5, 12-4. It included three playoff appearances. So the comparison between that and what Nagy has done so far with the Bears isn't apples to apples.

Still, Nagy feels like the Bears are in a great spot.

“I feel like we’re at that spot right now. We’ve got some guys that have been on this team for two, three, four years, and they know the offense as well as I do — where that wasn’t the case two or three years ago. When you have that and you have a guy like Andy and these quarterbacks that come in and understand it, that’s where it gives me confidence.”

Now the question is, who the heck will be the starting quarterback as the season carries out for the Bears?
