Social Media Reacts To Matt Nagy Going Back To Work With Andy Reid, Eric Bieniemy With Chiefs

Just like that, Matt Nagy is back with Andy Reid and Eric Bieniemy in Kansas City.

After being the head coach of the Chicago Bears for the past four seasons, Nagy was fired after missing the playoffs last season. And it was announced on Friday that the Chiefs were hiring him back as a Senior Assistant/Quarterbacks Coach.

The @NFL buddy/nepotism system continues.

What are the chances Nagy gets a 2nd head coaching opportunity before Eric Bieniemy gets his 1st?

(Also, why did it take so long for EB to get a ONE YEAR contract extension as OC?)

At first, Matt Nagy looked like a slam dunk hire for the Chicago Bears.

In his first season (2018), Nagy won the NFC Coach of the Year Award after leading the Bears to a divisional title, before getting ousted by the Eagles in the playoffs thanks to the infamous Cody Parkey double-doink.

After that year, Nagy’s offensive struggled to take the next step with the revolving door of Mitchell Trubisky, Nick Foles, Andy Dalton, and Justin Fields at quarterback.

It’ll be a long road back to glory for Matt Nagy after looking relatively incompetent towards the end of his Bears tenure. But he picked the right place to get his career back on track.
