I'm not trying to say they are, and hopefully this is just a knee jerk reaction by me and he works out great.
I just don't see the reasoning for them going this route...I don't hate the hire, just trying to find the silver lining that translates onto the football field.
What i really like about the hire, is obviously his knowledge of the 3-4 lol would hate to see them try and switch back to a 4-3...but more importantly I think the chemistry will be awesome between the coaches and hopefully that resonates to the team.
It's on the field thoughts that make me skeptical...Fangio had a long resume of being a DC in the NFL with a loaded team before he came to Chicago...Pagano has only been a DC for one year in the NFL with one of the best ever loaded teams.
Which he has here! i get that as well...i just don't see the resume that says THIS is the guy...only time will tell and i hope he surprises me.
What was on Nagy's resume to say "THIS is the guy"? Here are Fangio's defenses:

2016 CHI DC 32 15 24
2017 CHI DC 32 10 9
2018 CHI DC 32 3
Notice in the places he didn't have great talent his defenses weren't that good. Surprising eh? I think we'll end up really liking Pagano. I know I've wanted someone who is more aggressive and more innovative in their blitz scheme. Well shit...that's Pagano to a T! Take a look at some of his blitz schemes and think about the players he has at his disposal and tell me it doesn't excite the crap out of you!

I was skeptical about Nagy as well, but liked that he worked under Andy Reid, came from a newer aged offensive scheme,.and wasn't a retreaded coach of the NFL....and yes Fangio needs lots talent for his scheme to be effective.
