Andy Reid tipped to reunite with Super Bowl winner amid imminent exit and crumbling Chiefs dynasty

Wait 5 sec.

Andy Reid’s coaching staff could probably use some fresh blood after a dismal 2025 season and the Kansas City Chiefs coach may have no choice.Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy’s contract is up and he is reportedly set to interview for the vacant Tennessee Titans‘ head coach position in the coming days.GettyNagy must shoulder some of the blame for the Chiefs’ struggles[/caption]With the coaching cycle set to enter full swing after Week 18 turns into Black Monday, Nagy will be a name to watch.“He’ll be among the top candidates, a rare one this cycle with experience and a background on offense,” wrote Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero in a joint column for nfl.com.“If he doesn’t get a head job, leaving to take over as a primary play-caller elsewhere is also possible.”Reid is loyal to his assistants, but after an admittedly injury-hit offense ranked 17th for yards per game despite the presence of Patrick Mahomes, Nagy getting a job elsewhere could save him a tough decision.A different OC could help turn things around and restore the glory days to a team that missed the playoffs entirely just months after falling shy of an unprecedented three-peat.The incomer may not be entirely new, however, with Rapoport and Pelissero name-dropping two familiar faces.“In either case, the Chiefs could welcome back former Reid assistants such as Mike Kafka or Eric Bieniemy, both of whom could inject some new ideas from their previous places of employment while retaining some familiarity,” they explained.“In addition, a substantial roster reboot is also afoot, with the team significantly over the cap and coming off a rare disappointing season.”Reid is a wily veteran and will not hit the panic button, knowing that many of the pieces that brought him so much success are in place.Kafka — the interim head coach of the New York Giants — was Chiefs quarterbacks coach for a win over the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl LIV.GettyReid is not likely to oversee a radical overhaul[/caption]GettyKafka is auditioning for a head coach role[/caption]Bieniemy was the OC — a position he also held for a triumph against the Philadelphia Eagles at LVII three years later.Having left in 2023, he was named offensive playcaller for the Washington Commanders but lasted just a season after his unit ranked 21st in average yards per game and is currently an extremely overqualified running backs coach for the Chicago Bears.Chiefs in line for top-10 pick in NFL DraftReid is in the unfamiliar position of holding a top-10 draft pick heading into Week 18’s divisional matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, who will secure the No. 1 selection with a loss.It is an honor he has only enjoyed once during his time in Kansas City — when he drafted left tackle Eric Fisher first overall in 2013.Technically Mahomes also counts, albeit after trading up to 10th in 2017, making Reid 2-0 when given prime real estate to work with.He has full confidence that general manager Brett Veach will make a good call.NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?“With Brett and his crew doing it,” Reid said Monday. “That part’s exciting to see. “And what takes place, it’s something to look forward to. But you’re right. It’s not where you want to be, but it is where we are. “And we’ve got good people doing the picking, headed up by Brett.”Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for news, exclusive interviews and more.
