  • In Monday comments, Andy Reid said he knew before the season that Nagy wanted to “have his own show” and argued Nagy deserves another head‑coaching job.
  • Nagy has interviewed around the league, including as a Titans finalist for head coach, and he also interviewed with the Eagles for an offensive coordinator opening.
  • Patrick Mahomes thanked Nagy publicly and signaled support for Bieniemy’s return on social media as he continues ACL rehabilitation.
  • Reid praised Bieniemy’s direct, high‑energy leadership and pledged an offseason reset after a 6-11 season that ended the team’s postseason streak.
