Eagles Interview Chiefs OC Matt Nagy for Head Coaching Job, Despite Rumors of Reid's Plan to Bring Back Eric Bieniemy
In a surprise move, the Philadelphia Eagles interviewed former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator and Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy for their top coaching job, just days after learning that top candidates Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll are no longer in the running.
According to sources, Nagy was brought in for an interview by the team on Wednesday, despite rumors that new coach Andy Reid is planning to bring back his old friend Eric Bieniemy as the Eagles' next offensive coordinator. However, the Eagles may be considering a change of heart if they believe Nagy can help stabilize their offense after several seasons of regression under Reid's leadership.
Nagy has a history with the Chiefs and Bears, where he spent three seasons coaching Patrick Mahomes and developed the team's offense into one of the best in the league. However, his tenure was marked by inconsistency, including a 6-11 record last season that led to his firing.
As head coach of the Bears, Nagy called plays for two of his four years with the team but handed play calling duties over to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor late in the 2020 season. The following year, he reclaimed play calling responsibilities before giving it up again.
Nagy's coaching career has been marked by ups and downs, including a stint as coach of the Bears where he led them to a 12-4 record but lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Eagles. He was named NFL Coach of the Year after that season but saw his tenure with the Bears cut short.
The Eagles' coaching carousel has been one of the most popular topics this offseason, and Nagy's interview raises questions about whether he is a viable candidate for the top job in Philadelphia. Will the team consider bringing back a familiar face from their own coaching staff or go outside to find someone new? Only time will tell.

the rumors were saying reid was gonna stick with bieniemy and it all of a sudden just changed... Nagy's got a cool track record but that inconsistency is crazy what made em think he'd be the answer to their problems? maybe its time 4 them 2 rethink their strategy
he went 6-11 and got fired... I mean, don't get me wrong, the guy has some good experience with Patrick Mahomes and all, but can he really fix the Eagles' offense? It feels like they should be looking for someone more proven. Nagy's had his ups and downs, and I'm not sure why he's getting a second chance 
Plus, if Reid is planning to bring back Eric Bieniemy, that's a pretty big departure from their original plan...
... like who can forget that 6-11 record 
and then being named nfl coach of the year only to get fired a year later? yeah that's some drama right there 
. but hey, you never know what'll happen in the offseason and maybe nagy will bring some magic to philly 
... or maybe not 
. I mean, Nagy has a proven track record with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs 
. They had that 12-4 record, but still ended up losing in the playoffs 
. I'm not sure if he's stable enough for an NFL team like the Eagles 
. Still, you gotta respect the move 
. Maybe Nagy can bring some stability and consistency to Philly's offense? Fingers crossed 
!
but nagys own track record isnt exactly stellar either 
. And then there's the whole thing with Reid trying to bring back Eric Bieniemy - I think we can all agree that would be a big change 
. Nagy seems like a good fit, but are they just looking for someone who can stabilize the offense or are they hoping for a miracle? 
Either way, I'm curious to see how this whole thing plays out 
. And now they're thinkin' of bringin' back Bieniemy? C'mon, Eagles, make up your mind! 
.
. AND REID'S PLANS TO BRING BACK ERIC Bieniemy?!?! ISN'T THAT JUST WHAT THE EAGLES NEED? MORE CHAOS!!!
