Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Matt Nagy is expected to be a candidate for Tennessee’s head‑coach opening, with his name frequently mentioned in league circles.
- The Titans’ search remains open after firing Brian Callahan following a 1-5 start, with Mike McCoy serving as interim and other candidates floated, including Vance Joseph, Robert Saleh, Brian Flores, Kliff Kingsbury and Arthur Smith.
- Multiple outlets note that Kansas City’s uneven season, including a 6-7 mark, could dampen Nagy’s prospects if the Chiefs miss the playoffs.
- Nagy is Kansas City’s offensive coordinator after returning in 2023 and previously coached the Bears from 2018–2021, earning 2018 AP Coach of the Year and two playoff trips.
- Analysts point out that Tennessee hiring Nagy would strip the Chiefs of their offensive coordinator, a potential setback for Patrick Mahomes’ support structure.
