The Trestman thing looked like it was working at first... The Bears had a top 10 offense his first year. He was a weirdo that couldn't hold a locker room though and it all fell apart year 2. There is strong, strong evidence that suggests by hiring a guy like Nagy the offense more than likely will take off. Can he hold the team together and find a quality DC on the other side of the ball are the two big unknowns.
Those are two pretty big unknowns, as are Nagy, Pace and (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky. It seems like Nagy was hired almost exclusively because Pace believes he will rapidly accelerate (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky's development. So Pace is betting big on (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky, but the problem is that Pace's record thus far has been characterized by inconsistency. He doesn't seem to have a unifying rebuilding strategy, and his aptitude for talent acquisition is unclear. Hopefully things will go well, but I think it's an overstatement to argue that there's "strong evidence" the offense--or any other aspect of the team--will flourish under Nagy.
