The Chiefs have two coaches on their staff that have been head coaches in defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and quarterbacks coach Matt Nagy.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, right, talks with defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo during an NFL football practice in Tempe, Ariz., Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023. The Chiefs will play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 57 on Sunday. – The Kansas City Chiefs have two assistants on their coaching staff that have been head coaches in the NFL, and another one that has been interviewed — and passed over — for top jobs too many times to count.
And plenty of other coaches — Todd Bowles, Pat Shurmur, Leslie Frazier — that also have been NFL head coaches. Nagy got his start in the NFL as Reid's coaching intern during his days in Philadelphia, then followed Big Red to Kansas City in 2013. He began there as the quarterbacks coach, rose to offensive coordinator when Pederson departed for his own head coaching job, then took the top job with the Bears a couple of years later.
"It was just a matter of, he wanted to sit out a year or get back into it as an assistant coach, and so he did. He wanted to jump back in and go. And we're sure glad to get him.” “Steve's very creative. Very smart. A tribute to Springfield College, right?" said Reid, referring to the small Division III school where Spagnuolo played wide receiver. “He's been in the league and had a great tutor in Jim Johnson when he was young, and he's been able to build off that scheme and been very innovative with it.”
Bieniemy is still in the running for the job in Indianapolis, a search that has been put on hold until after the Super Bowl.
