It’s safe to say Matt Nagy is Public Enemy No. 1 in Chicago. Sunday’s loss to the Ravens — the Bears’ fifth straight — certainly didn’t help matters, and fans are making their displeasure clear.
Not only did Bears fans start a “Fire Nagy” chant at Soldier Field at the end of Sunday’s loss to the Ravens, but Bulls fans started their own “Fire Nagy” chant when their team was getting blown out Monday at the United Center.
But it didn’t stop there.
During a Class 6A semifinals playoff game between Lake Forest and Cary-Grove on Saturday, those same “Fire Nagy” chants were started by Cary-Grove’s student section. It just so happens that Nagy’s son plays for Lake Forest, so it’s no coincidence.

Nagy understands that those boos and chants come with the territory. But there’s a time and place. While professional sporting events are fair game, starting those chants at his son’s football game isn’t cool.
But it appears that fans aren’t the only ones fed up with Nagy. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, there are an “overwhelming number” of Bears players who want Nagy gone.
There are plenty of Bears fans who want Nagy gone but also understand that it’s not cool to start those chants at his son’s football game. And they weren’t happy.
I’m all for booing the heck out of Matt Nagy at a Bears game. That’s the place he deserves it. At his kids football game? Probably not. https://t.co/cpc57pKomc

Bears fans are mad. Probably out of line but fire this guy and save his family @ChicagoBears https://t.co/mKRmSyYU86

As you all know, I am all aboard the “Fire NAGY” campaign. As a father, I can tell you this is f*cking disgusting and pathetic. Losers. https://t.co/RkgZxAUctR

This is classless. As much as I want Nagy fired, doing it at his kid’s football game is the absolute worst. https://t.co/TtY6bfOn2Y

This is disgusting. And please unfollow me if you want to comment how this was “just HS kids”. There was a HS kid playing for LF. The C-G parents are in the stands and should have stopped it immediately. Be better Cary Grove https://t.co/o4hZHMaGTr

I love me a good Fire Nagy chant, but maybe not at his sons high school football game. https://t.co/vWUBEuqCwX

No matter how much fans want a coach gone, chanting for a guy to get fired while at his son's football game is never OK. Unnecessary behavior toward Chicago's Matt Nagy here. https://t.co/tbMGD7ygv5

This is on the same level as calling Jim Boylen a disgrace to the city.
The problem isn’t the message, it’s the setting. His sons football game? Really?
Be better man. https://t.co/MOpE27Krur

I mean, come on. This is kids chanting mostly it seems, so I give them the benefit of the doubt of their brains not being fully formed, but end of the day it’s classless and very wrong.
If you want to do this at Bears games, absolutely, not his child’s HS football game. https://t.co/CB2HN4jdF7

I don't want Nagy to be our HC anymore, but there's a time and place for this sorta stuff. Soldier Field during a Bears game, absolutely have a right to chant that if you want. When he's at a game supporting his kid in his free time? Nah that's just disrespectful. https://t.co/WLORx7seCn

If you’re boo’ing Matt Nagy at his son’s high school football game, it may be about time to re-evaluate your life… https://t.co/5eUpO3ZepZ

Wow, Fire Nagy chant starts in the student section of his kids high school football game. Nagy was in attendance.

I don’t care what your thoughts are on Matt Nagy. Doing this at his kids football game is inexcusable and these people should be ashamed. https://t.co/2HCGdZyQWn

I don’t want this guy to be our HC, but to do this at his son’s playoff game is disgusting. You need to check yourself if this is what you’re doing. https://t.co/hE7ckj7df6

So I have had a lot of folks talk to me about my beloved @ChicagoBears and coach Nagy. He is my coach until he isn’t. I have been a Bears fan for life and as long as they on the team, I’m cheering. This “fire Nagy” stuff is trash. He was at his kids game just being a dad. https://t.co/7OkLeMybQ8

If someone was doing this at my kid's game because of my work I'd be looking for them or their parents if it was kids. If it was my own kid doing it he'd be in a world of hurt. Given what we saw at the girl's hockey game a week or two ago I'm not going to pretend to be surprised. https://t.co/TSU2Eq9LoV

Fire Nagy chants at his son’s football game? Is this how low we’ve gone? The emboldenment of the worst people on earth is at hand. This is trash. From what we know Nagy is a good man. There’s a time and a place and this isn’t it. https://t.co/PLAcf4aZpF

I'm cool with the chants at Bears games and even the Bulls game but not at his kids game. https://t.co/woqlkc22k5

Although completely classless, this is what happens when ownership turns a blind eye to the fans and what is actually happening on the field. He should have been let go last year. They created idiots like this by allowing incompetence to continue. https://t.co/py8b5K3w2D

Fire Nagy chants at pro sporting events or in the office = good.
Fire Nagy chants at his kids HS football game = lame and mean.
