To say that Matt Nagy has worn out his welcome in Chicago would be an understatement. Back-to-back 8-8 seasons, poor offensive play and keeping rookie quarterback Justin Fields on the bench have a way of alienating a fan base.

So there couldn’t have been a more perfect time for McDonald’s to release an ad featuring Nagy recruiting new employees to the fast-food chain just hours after the Bears’ 34-14 loss to the Rams on ‘‘Sunday Night Football.’’

“I was hired to help you make this great team even better. … If they put in the work, they can make manager on this team.” Nagy says in the video designed to attract new workers to the fast-food giant.

As you can imagine, Twitter had a field day (no pun intended) with this. The jokes really write themselves.
