The NFL's Black Monday has shifted focus to the upcoming head coaching carousel, with teams that have already fired their head coaches beginning their searches early. The Jets have already done so, while the New Orleans Saints are reportedly considering a prominent candidate.

The Chiefs might lose two coordinators

The Kansas City Chiefs will likely lose two coordinators after New Orleans Saints consider Matt Nagy as their head coach. The Saints will look for a new coach following the axing of Dennis Allen on November 4, who was axed despite holding a 2-7 record and second-last in the NFC South. Since then, Darren Rizzi has led them to a 3-4 record and gotten some life out of Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara but the damage was already done and they have missed out on the 2024/25 NFL Playoffs."Expect the Saints to show interest in former Bears head coach and current Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy," The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported in her column on Saturday. "I also expect interim head coach Darren Rizzi to get a shot at the job full-time.”
She added that Mike McCarthy could also be a candidate if the Cowboys don't retain him. In November, the Saints fired Dennis Allen after a 2-7 start. Matt Nagy, a former quarterback coach and senior assistant, has been the offensive coordinator since 2023 to help Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice, and DeAndre Hopkins.
Nagy was once the OC for Kansas City and head coach of the Chicago Bears, where he was praised for his successful team culture. He took the Bears to two postseason appearances in the NFC Wild Card games, before being sacked in his fourth year after finishing with a 6-11 record. He then returned to the Arrowhead Stadium.Spagnuolo, who was a former head coach for the St Louis Rams, was fired after a 10-38 record after three seasons. He also had an interim stint with the New York Giants in 2017, where the team finished last in the NFC East, winning only three games and losing the other three.Also Read: Three takeaways from the Kansas City Chiefs' 38-0 loss to Broncos, who enters postseason party for the first time since 2015 seasonThis will be a bitter pill for Andy Reid to swallow losing lead coordinators Nagy and Spagnuolo, who led the team to three Super Bowl rings since 2019. Both have signed a five-year contract, but it is possible they may surprise the front office by leaving the team, with Reid admitting he wants to try his hand as a head coach again.
