Matt Nagy returns to role as Chiefs' OC

[February 25, 2023]  Matt Nagy will return to his former role as the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive coordinator, taking back the position after Eric Bieniemy left to take the same position with the Washington Commanders.  

Nagy was the Chiefs' OC for two seasons starting in 2016 before leaving to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears in 2018.

After four seasons and a 34-31 regular-season record with the Bears, Nagy was fired and returned to the staff of head coach Andy Reid this past season to become the Chiefs' quarterbacks coach and senior offensive assistant.

Kansas City won Super Bowl LVII earlier this month with a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

With Alex Smith at quarterback in 2016, Nagy's offense with the Chiefs was 20th with 343.0 yards per game. One season later, the Chiefs were fifth with 375.4 yards per game.

Nagy led the Bears to the playoffs twice, but they went 0-2. Chicago was 6-11 in 2021 before Nagy was fired.

A former quarterback at Delaware, Nagy served three seasons as an assistant under Reid with the Eagles and then five more under Reid with the Chiefs before leaving for the Bears.
