Just a couple days into the postseason and the Kansas City Chiefs have some serious changes to work out among their coaching staff. On Monday, the Chicago Bears hired away offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to be their new head coach, replacing John Fox in the process. Then rumors broke out, also on Monday, that Chiefs assistant head coach Brad Childress had decided to retire, leaving the Chiefs with two significant coaching vacancies on the same side of the ball.
This was already an offseason in which we knew that coaching changes were likely coming. Whether it was head coaching hopefuls like Nagy or Dave Toub finally getting the chance they deserve or another coach or coordinator (or more) getting fired for the team’s postseason meltdown, the Chiefs knew they would likely have to shuffle in some new blood somewhere or at least move some others up the food chain.
