Eagles Interview Matt Nagy for Offensive Coordinator Amid Major Staff Shakeup

The Philadelphia Eagles are exploring significant changes to their coaching staff, having reportedly interviewed Matt Nagy, current offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, for their vacant offensive coordinator position. This development comes as the Eagles seek to rejuvenate their offense after a turbulent season and as Kansas City anticipates the return of Eric Bieniemy as its OC.

Matt Nagy: A High-Profile Candidate Emerges

The Eagles’ search for a new offensive coordinator has taken a high-profile turn with their reported interview of Matt Nagy. At 47 years old, Nagy is highly regarded for his work with the Chiefs, where he played a key role in one of the league’s most dynamic offenses. His resume also includes a stint as head coach of the Chicago Bears, adding valuable leadership experience and a deep knowledge of offensive scheming.

  • Nagy, 47, currently serves as the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator
  • He previously served as head coach of the Chicago Bears from 2018 to 2021
  • The Eagles’ OC job opened after a disappointing end to their 2025 season

Changes in Kansas City Open the Door

According to reports, the Chiefs are preparing for Eric Bieniemy to return as offensive coordinator—a move that would leave Nagy seeking a new opportunity. NBC Sports highlighted that, with Bieniemy expected back, Nagy is effectively on the way out in Kansas City, and a head coaching position elsewhere does not appear likely for him at this time.

Philadelphia’s Offensive Reset

The decision to interview Nagy signals the Eagles’ intent to bring in a coach with a proven track record of offensive success. Philadelphia’s offense, which struggled with inconsistency in 2025, would benefit from Nagy’s experience both in game planning and quarterback development. His time with the Chiefs has been marked by creative play-calling and adaptability, traits the Eagles hope to inject into their own unit.

What Nagy Could Bring to the Eagles

  • Expertise in designing and calling plays for high-powered offenses
  • Experience working with top quarterbacks, including Patrick Mahomes
  • Ability to adapt schemes to fit personnel

Competitive Coaching Market

While Nagy has previously been a head coach, current reports indicate he is not on the shortlist for top jobs this cycle, making the Eagles’ OC position one of the most attractive options available to him. Philadelphia, meanwhile, is moving swiftly to secure a candidate who can help return the team to offensive prominence.

What’s Next?

It remains to be seen if the Eagles will offer Nagy the job or continue their search among other candidates. However, his interview marks a significant step as the team looks to build a coaching staff capable of contending in the highly competitive NFC East.

Looking Ahead

The coming weeks are likely to bring further clarity to the Eagles’ coaching search. If Nagy is ultimately hired, his presence could reshape Philadelphia’s offensive identity and provide crucial support for their young talent. As both teams prepare for the offseason, all eyes will be on the Eagles’ next move—and whether Matt Nagy will be part of their future.
