Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs could lose a very important member of their coaching staff next season. According to a report by Dianna Russini, Matt Nagy has emerged as a strong candidate to become the new head coach of the Titans.

ā€œTitans general manager Mike Borgonzi and president of football operations Chad Brinker are leading the organization’s head coaching search, and I’m told their list is taking shape. Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy is viewed internally as a serious candidate. Nagy will be in Nashville on Sunday with Kansas City, but NFL rules state there can’t be any job discussions.ā€

In recent weeks, Nagy has received a lot of criticism for the way he has managed the offense led by Patrick Mahomes. The lack of a running game was a key factor in this season’s failure, and many experts have pointed out that the quarterback’s best stretch of his NFL career came with Eric Bieniemy.
