Matt Nagy is the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs again.
Nagy spent four seasons as the Bears’ head coach before he was fired at the end of the 2021 season. Chicago went 12-4 in his first season before going 8-8 in two seasons and 6-11 in Nagy’s final season. The Bears infamously drafted Mitchell Trubisky at No. 2 in the 2017 NFL draft ahead of Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.
The team’s poor quarterback play was a big factor in its lack of success during Nagy’s tenure. The Bears averaged fewer than 20 points per game in two of Nagy's four seasons as head coach. He rejoined the Chiefs after he was fired by the Bears as a senior assistant and quarterbacks coach. It was his second time working with Mahomes after he was in his second season as the team’s offensive coordinator during Mahomes’ rookie season. Mahomes made one start during that season and it came in the final week when the Chiefs had already wrapped up their seed in the AFC playoffs.
Nagy first worked with Chiefs’ coach Andy Reid in Philadelphia and came to Kansas City when Reid was hired in 2013 and spent three seasons as the team’s quarterbacks coach before he succeeded Doug Pederson as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator when Pederson was hired as the Eagles’ head coach. Bieniemy deserves a ton of credit for his work with Mahomes and the Chiefs offense over the past five seasons but it reasons there won't be a massive change in the way Kansas City does things on offense in 2023 with Nagy’s promotion given the presence of Reid and Mahomes.
