Bears' Pagano not interested in 2nd head coaching gig: 'I've done it'

New Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano said Thursday he's not interested in becoming a head coach again in the future.

"I'm not," he told reporters at his introductory press conference, via ESPN's Jeff Dickerson. "I've done it."

Pagano led the Indianapolis Colts from 2012-17, making the playoffs three times.

The 58-year-old spent the 2018 season as an NFL consultant before joining the Bears, who lost Vic Fangio to the Denver Broncos.

"I'm motivated to just help coach Matt Nagy be successful," he said. "Help this organization be successful. Help these kids grow and develop. That's my motivation is to be the best I can be for this organization, for the McCaskey family, for coach Nagy and for these players and for these coaches and help develop these guys. That's the only thing I want to do."

Pagano was rumored to interview for the Green Bay Packers' head coaching job several weeks ago. He coordinated the Baltimore Ravens' defense in 2011.
