Bears coach Matt Nagy will speak at the commencement ceremony for his alma mater, the University of Delaware, on Saturday.

Speaking inside the university’s football stadium, he said that he plans to be brief and will use his catch phrase.

Nagy joked that “like, 90 percent” of graduates don’t even remember their speaker.

“I’m going to be real quick,” he said. “It’s going to be, ‘Be you,’ drop the mic and walk out.”

Delaware announced Nagy’s speaking appearance last month. He’s the first Fightin’ Blue Hens alum to ever coach an NFL team.

Nagy, whose degree was in health and physical education, set more than 20 career passing records while playing at UD from 1997 to 2000.
