Bears coach Matt Nagy said Monday that he’s had great communication with chairman Geroge McCaskey, president Ted Phillips and general manager Ryan Pace during the season, but said he’s had no conversation about his job status in the wake of Sunday’s loss.
“We haven’t had any of those discussions,” he said.
The McCaskeys have never fired a head coach during the season. Asked whether he still felt the support of ownership, Nagy said he did.
The coach said he’s talked with the highest levels of the franchiser regularly.
“When I have those conversations with George and Ted I just appreciate them being to understand it from my end and the things that we’re going through,” he said. “And how we do it.”
The Bears have lost six-straight games, the last three against NFC North opponents and the last two in spectacular fashion. They trailed the rival Packers by 31 through three quarters at Lambeau Field and blew a 10-point lead in the final three minutes of Sunday’s loss to the Lions. They had a 96% percent chance of winning before the Lions scored their first of two touchdowns inside the three-minute mark.
