Why do you need market size conspiracies to explain it?
Nagy took his team from 5-11 and last in their division to 9-4 so far and first in their division.
The Chargers and Seahawks we're both 9-7 last year and this year the Chargers are 11-3, tied for 1st in their division and tied for the second best record in the NFL, whereas the Hawks are 8-5 and gonna make the playoffs but can't win their division.
I think this is a very impressive coaching year for PC no doubt, and he slots in third no doubt, but so far Nagy is gonna win because Nagy deserves to win, not because Chicago is a big city.
There is ALWAYS an east coast bias in football. Anything west of Chicago might as well not exist. Having lived on the east coast, I believe 100% that market size and location plays into some of these decisions as they are VOTED on by people without an objective selection process. Everyone brings their conscious and subconscious biases to the voting. EVERYONE expected these Seahawks to tank. PC and JS proved them wrong again. GET SOME!
