What team hired Matt Nagy as their head coach?

The team that hired Matt Nagy as its head coach was the Chicago Bears. The Bears hired him on January 8, 2018, making him the 16th head coach in franchise history.

Nagy came to Chicago from the Kansas City Chiefs, where he had worked under head coach Andy Reid and served as offensive coordinator. He replaced John Fox, who was dismissed after the Bears finished the 2017 season 5–11. Nagy’s appointment reflected the NFL’s growing interest in young, offense-minded coaches.

His first season was highly successful. Chicago went 12–4, won the NFC North for the first time since 2010, and reached the playoffs. Nagy was named AP NFL Coach of the Year. The Bears returned to the playoffs in 2020, but Nagy was dismissed after the 2021 season. He finished his Chicago head-coaching tenure with a 34–31 regular-season record and two playoff appearances.
