After\u00a0starting out as a coaching intern\u00a0with head coach Andy Reid in Philadelphia, Nagy joined him in Kansas City in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, he became the Chiefs\u2019 quarterbacks coach \u2014 a title he held for four seasons.<\/p>\n<p>From there, Nagy was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2017. He held that role for one year before landing the Bears\u2019 HC job.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Matt-Nagy-e1736010010419.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Chiefs Staff Member Linked to Saints Head Coaching Job: Insider\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In Chicago, Nagy was an immediate success story in 2018, winning the AP Coach of the Year award after he led the Bears to an NFC North title\u00a0at 12-4. Unfortunately, Nagy and Chicago suffered a first-round elimination that postseason and failed to make the playoffs the following year (8-8).<\/p>\n<p>The Bears did manage to clinch a wildcard berth under Nagy in 2020 at 8-8 but were eliminated in the wildcard round for the second time under his tenure. After a 6-11 finish in 2021 \u2014 his first sub-.500 campaign as HC \u2014 Chicago elected to move on.<\/p>\n<p>Nagy has repositioned himself in head coaching discussions after returning to KC for three very successful seasons.<\/p>\n<p>He started out with his former job title as quarterbacks coach, then reclaimed the offensive coordinator role after\u00a0Eric Bieniemy\u00a0decided to accept the OC position in Washington. Bieniemy is currently available on the open market after\u00a0mutually parting ways with UCLA\u00a0\u2014 where he spent the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas City Chiefs could lose offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to another HC position in 2025.
