Rumor: Bears May Give Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy One More Year While New President Comes In Hey. It’s just a rumor. Explicitly, it’s just a rumor. But because we’re tracking potential front office and head coaching changes so closely for the Bears, and because Zimmerman is very thoughtful on this stuff, I wanted to share to discuss. Here we go: Had someone tell me that Pace received an unannounced 1-year contract extension to line up his contract with Nagy. If true, I think its unlikely you see a Pace-Nagy firing this year. I think you see a new team President get a year to evaluate and make decisions after 2021. #Bears
