In case there
were any doubts, the Tribune settled them yesterday with a page-one story on
new Bears’ coach Matt Nagy: “Nagy’s
Active Mind A Beautiful Thing/Gigantic idea board encourages Bears staff to
suggest, promote, refine, execute ideas.”
Yup, that’s what you call honeymoon coverage. Along with the TV report
on how players and Nagy are “bonding.”
But if I were Nagy, I wouldn’t get too comfortable with all the
adulation. If the Chicago media runs true
to form, love will turn to hate in due time.
I remember when Marc
Trestman was hired, and the local sports’ media went nuts over the fact he’d
written a book on motivation; sports’ people acted like Trestman’s first name
was a cross between “Pulitzer” and “Nobel.”
Only Trestman couldn’t apply his motivational techniques to the team at
hand, and it was “So long, Marc” after two seasons. And, hello, John Fox.
We all know how that
went, right?
