The Philadelphia Eagles interviewed a two-time Super Bowl champion for their offensive coordinator job.
The Philadelphia Eagles need a new OC after parting ways with Kevin Patullo, and according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo, they interviewed Matt Nagy on Wednesday.
Nagy was an intern with the Eagles in 2008 and 2009. He got promoted to an assistant in 2010 and was the team's offensive quality control coach in 2011 and 2012.
From 2013 to 2017, Nagy was with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was the QB coach from 2013 to 2016 and got promoted to OC in 2017.
The Chicago Bears hired Nagy as their head coach in 2018. Nagy spent four years in Chicago and won the 2018 Coach of the Year Award. He was fired after the 2021 season.
Nagy returned to the Chiefs in 2022. He was the QB coach in 2022 and the OC from 2023 to 2025. The 47-year-old won two Super Bowls with Kansas City.
The Eagles beat Nagy and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl last season. Kellen Moore was Philadelphia's OC and was great at his job, so much so that the New Orleans Saints hired him as their head coach last offseason.
Kevin Patullo was the Eagles' OC this season. Unlike Moore, he wasn't good at his job and Patullo was fired as OC after just one season.
This season under Patullo, scoring dropped from 27.2 (ranked seventh) to 22.3 (19th) points per game; offensive efficiency dipped from fourth best in the league to 19th; and the rushing attack plummeted from 179 yards per game (2nd) to 116.9 (18th).
The Eagles won the NFC East but lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card game at home. It will be fascinating to see who is calling offensive plays for Philly next season.
The new OC has to work well with QB Jalen Hurts, who finished with 3,224 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns this season. Hurts and Patullo didn't have a good relationship.
