Hot Seat Watch: How hot is Matt Nagy’s seat after 8 games?

For the third week in a row, we will take a look at how hot Matt Nagy’s seat is at the midway point in the season. Last week, he was at an 8 out of 10. After eight games, his seat is burning.  Luckily for him, Nagy didn’t coach last week, so he can’t get higher than an 8.

The Chicago Bears have lost three straight games, one by 10 points, one by 35 points, and then one by 11 points. It’s been ugly when they’ve lost. After a decent start in the first half, the Bears’ offense stalled and the defense couldn’t keep them in the game, en route to a 33-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Many fans were impressed with Chris Tabor and how he handled being the acting head coach. The team did look sharper, but Tabor didn’t lead them to victory, so there aren’t enough grounds to make the switch, just yet.

Like always, Nagy’s hot seat will be on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the coolest and 10 being the hottest seat for Nagy.
