KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs went back to the future with their promotion of Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator. The team announced the move on Friday, one week after former offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy's departure. Bieniemy was the offensive coordinator for the past five seasons before taking a similar position with the Washington Commanders.
Nagy, 44, was the Chiefs' offensive coordinator for head coach Andy Reid in 2016 and 2017, their last two seasons with Alex Smith as their starting quarterback. The Chiefs were 20th in the league in yards and 13th in scoring in 2016 but made a jump the next season to fifth in yards and sixth in scoring.
