Dianna Russini of The Athletic mentions that she expects both Chiefs OC Matt Nagy and Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy to draw interest from the Saints for their head coaching position.
Russini adds that she also expects Saints interim HC Darren Rizzi to interview for the full-time position and could see him remaining with the team’s coaching staff if he doesn’t retain the job.
Nagy, 46, was hired by the Bears in January 2018 to become their head coach. His NFL coaching career began with the Eagles as an intern back in 2008. He worked his way up to offensive quality control coach in 2011 before departing to join Chiefs HC Andy Reid‘s staff as their quarterback coach.
After the Eagles hired Doug Pederson, the Chiefs elevated Nagy to offensive coordinator. Reid elected to turn over play-calling duties to Nagy during the season, which led to him being hired by the Bears as their head coach in 2018. Chicago elected to part ways with Nagy after four seasons.
After being re-hired by the Chiefs as a senior assistant and quarterbacks coach in 2022, the team eventually named him the offensive coordinator in 2023 as a replacement for Eric Bieniemy.
As the head coach of the Bears, Nagy had a record of 34-31 (52.3 percent) with two playoff appearances and an 0-2 record in the postseason.
