Chiefs Reshape Staff With Firings as Mahomes Weighs Potential OC Vacancy

Patrick Mahomes says Andy Reid has a plan if Matt Nagy departs for a head-coaching job.

Overview

  • The Chiefs fired running backs coach Todd Pinkston and wide receivers coach Connor Embree after a 6-11 season marked by a lack of explosive runs, per the Kansas City Star’s Sam McDowell, with Chiefs Digest corroborating Pinkston’s exit.
  • Louie Addazio left to become UNLV’s offensive line coach and Alex Whittingham joined Michigan’s staff, furthering the assistant-level turnover.
  • Reporters McDowell and Matt Derrick noted that additional staff moves remain possible as the league’s coaching carousel continues.
  • Mahomes said Reid would be prepared to replace Nagy if necessary and described seeking an OC who loves football, holds players accountable, and brings fresh ideas.
  • Nagy has interviewed with the Cardinals, Ravens, Raiders, and Titans, and ESPN’s Dan Graziano has predicted he could land the Tennessee job.
