Eagles Interview Former Chiefs OC Matt Nagy for OC Position as McDaniel and Daboll Seek New Opportunities.
The Philadelphia Eagles' search for a new offensive coordinator has taken an interesting turn with the team interviewing former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Matt Nagy. Sources close to the matter have confirmed that Nagy was indeed on the shortlist of candidates, despite being considered a long shot by some.
Nagy, who spent three seasons coaching Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense, was recently let go from his position as senior assistant and quarterbacks coach for the 2023-25 seasons. The move came as a surprise to many, given that Nagy had shown promising results in Chicago during his four-year stint as head coach.
The Eagles' interest in Nagy is partly due to his experience working with several different quarterbacks, including Alex Smith and Mahomes, as well as Trubisky and Fields in Chicago. His familiarity with the Reid offense would also be an asset for the team.
However, Nagy's coaching career has not been without controversy. In Chicago, he struggled to establish a consistent offense, with the Bears ranking as low as 29th in total offense during his tenure. The team did show some improvement under his leadership, but ultimately fell short of expectations.
The Eagles' current top contenders for the OC position โ Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll โ have both moved on to new opportunities, leaving Nagy as one of the last remaining options. It will be interesting to see how the team evaluates him in an interview setting, given his experience with quarterbacks and familiarity with Reid's offense.
One thing is clear, though: the Eagles' OC search has been a wild ride, with several familiar faces popping up along the way. Will Nagy be able to revive his coaching career and lead the Eagles to success on offense? Only time will tell.
