After starting his first career head coaching job with a 4-19 record, the Tennessee Titans were forced to fire Brian Callahan. His lack of success tanked this team, hindered Cam Ward’s development, and showcased how utterly unprepared he was for his job.
Since then, interim head coach Mike McCoy has been doing his best to keep this team afloat, finally getting their second win of the season in Week 14. But the season is nearing its end, and the Titans must find a permanent solution at head coach. Plenty of names have been tossed around as potential candidates for the Titans’ vacant head coaching position, and one that keeps popping up is Matt Nagy.
Most recently, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler mentioned Nagy’s connection to the Titans.
The Matt Nagy-Titans connection is one that comes up in league circles, with the belief that Tennessee general manager Mike Borgonzi has a good relationship with Nagy from their Kansas City days. Nagy’s Chicago tenure has aged well, going 34-31 with Mitchell Trubisky at quarterback. The Chiefs’ struggles could affect Nagy’s chances. But I expect him to be a candidate in Tennessee.
Nagy is currently the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, having reunited with Andy Reid after his stint as the Chicago Bears head coach. Reid and Nagy previously worked together in Philadelphia as well, but Nagy and Titans’ general manager Mike Borgonzi knew each other in Kansas City. Borgonzi’s knowledge of Nagy’s coaching ability, plus the relationship that they have, could give him an edge with the Titans.
