GM Jerry Angelo wanted to hire his own coach. If it's your time, it's your time, and Dick Jauron's Bears in 2003 were 7-9 with no losing streak longer than three straight.Maybe the organization realized the silliness of such a move two years later when they gave Emery the boot after a short Bears GM career that was entirely too long. All Lovie Smith had to do was lose three straight and miss the playoffs after a 7-1 start to get fired by Phil Emery in 2012.Marc Trestman lost five in a row to end the 2014 season and was mercifully fired after two years.Fox's 2016 team had four losing streaks of at least three games and one of those four games, yet Ryan Pace did not fire him until 2017.Nagy already bested that mark last year without penalty. John Fox lost five straight and was fired after the 2017 season, his longest losing streak in Chicago.Using the Bears ownership standard, there has usually been more consistency of logic and patience than with many franchises, although the decision-making after eventual firings certainly needs to be questioned. Then Quinn rewarded Blank's patience with two five-game losing streaks in 2020 and was gone. Dan Quinn lost six straight in 2019 and got asked back by Atlanta owner Arthur Blank.Ron Rivera went through some hellacious losing streaks in Carolina but got his team to a Super Bowl and stuck around until 2019.He was rewarded with three consecutive winning seasons before finally changing coaches. Of all people, Jerry Jones put up with a seven-game losing streak from Jason Garrett in his fifth year.They even had another gimme mixed in there with Detroit after Matt Patricia's firing, and couldn't even get that easy win on their home field. It is true the Bears turned around their fortunes last year after six straight defeats, but the schedule did this as much as anything.ДЇacing Jacksonville, Houston and Minnesota in a three-week stretch didn't exactly look like this year's schedule. I don't know when that is or how that is-once one of that happens then it can be really good.

'Sometimes there's that one play where usually it didn't happen in the first eight, nine weeks, and now all of a sudden it changed. 'The only way to start that win streak is to win,' Nagy said. There really needs to be questions when this happens and the coaching staff has been in place for three-plus seasons. When teams lose four or more for three straight years, there must be questions about the coaching, injuries or not.
