Eagles Interview Chiefs' Matt Nagy for OC Job Amidst Coaching Carousel Chaos
In a surprising move, the Philadelphia Eagles have interviewed former Kansas City Chiefs' offensive coordinator and current Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy for their vacant offensive coordinator position. This development comes as the Birds are navigating a coaching carousel that has seen two top contenders β Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll β leave in search of new opportunities.
Nagy, a native of Central Pennsylvania and former University of Delaware quarterback, broke into the coaching ranks in Philadelphia under Andy Reid, who is now reportedly planning to bring back Eric Bieniemy as his next OC. Nagy's own tenure with the Chiefs was marked by regression on offense, which went from ninth overall in 2023 to 15th in 2024 and 20th this past season.
During his four-year stint as Bears head coach, Nagy never ranked higher than 21st in total offense and finished as low as 29th. Despite leading the team to a 12-4 season and earning the NFL's Coach of the Year award, Nagy was fired after just three seasons.
Nagy has spent time exploring coaching opportunities since his departure from Chicago, including being a finalist for the Titans head coaching job that went to Robert Saleh. It appears he is now looking at the Eagles' OC position as a viable option. The interview comes on the heels of the Birds losing two top contenders, leaving Nagy among the remaining options.
With experience working with quarterbacks such as Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, as well as Justin Fields in Chicago, Nagy brings a unique set of skills to the table. His connection to the Eagles through Reid also suggests he could be an attractive candidate for the position. However, it remains to be seen whether Nagy will be able to revitalize the Eagles' offense and bring stability to the coaching staff.
