History

Historical Context

In 2018, the NFL experienced a coaching shake-up, with eight teams hiring new head coaches, including Matt Nagy for the Chicago Bears. This shift mirrored the success of the Los Angeles Rams under Sean McVay, who led the team to a Super Bowl appearance that year. The New York Giants' ongoing search for a new head coach reflects this trend of teams seeking innovative leadership to enhance performance.
