2. Matt Nagy - OC
The calls for Nagy's ousting will grow louder every week that the Chiefs' offense underperforms.
Do me a favor. Close your eyes and imagine that Eric Bieniemy was still the offensive coordinator. Imagine this season playing out the way it has, and now imagine what the public discourse would be.
Everyone is calling for Bieniemy's head, right? Shoot, people wanted him fired last year and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl while leading the NFL in points! Folks would surely be calling for his job right now if roles were reversed.

Instead, the criticism of Nagy is just starting to grow. We here at Chiefs Kingdom have criticized him for weeks and it seems the public is catching on. At some point, heads have to roll. If you look at the offense in a vacuum, Nagy simply MUST be better.
I have no idea what role Nagy is playing. That being said, I do know that the only substantial differences we made were swapping out two underwhelming tackles and subbing JuJu Smith-Schuster for Rashee Rice.
Those changes shouldn't have led to this disaster and I'm blaming Nagy until we have information to the contrary.
This final Chief on thin ice may surprise you, as you'll see on the next page.
