Nagy, a former quarterback, brings 16 seasons of NFL coaching experience to the Giants. He spent the past four seasons in Kansas City – his second stint with the franchise – after four years as head coach of the Bears. He led Chicago to a 34-31 record and two postseason appearances, including a division title in his first season when he was named 2018's Coach of the Year by both the Associated Press and Pro Football Writers of America.
Nagy returned to Kansas City in 2022 and helped the organization to back-to-back Super Bowl championships. He also reunited with Patrick Mahomes, whom he helped develop starting from the time he was a rookie in 2017 (Nagy's first season as offensive coordinator).
In 2022, Mahomes set franchise records for passing yards (5,250) and 300-yard games (10). Mahomes led the league in many categories, including passing yards, passing touchdowns (41), passing touchdown percentage (6.3 percent), passing first downs (272), and pass plays of 25+ yards (49). Following the season, Mahomes was named NFL MVP for the second time in his career. Mahomes added a second Super Bowl MVP title to his resume, along with a second AP All-Pro first-team selection.
In total, Nagy coached nine seasons with the Chiefs, including five as offensive coordinator. He was part of three Super Bowl appearances with the Chiefs, including victories in Super Bowls LVII and LVIII.
In his first year with the Chiefs, Nagy coached Alex Smith to a league-low seven interceptions with a minimum of 300 attempts and a 1.4 interception percentage, also the lowest in the NFL. Smith earned his first Pro Bowl selection following his first season with the Chiefs in 2013.
Outside of his time leading the Bears, Nagy has spent his entire coaching career under Andy Reid, who once upon a time retained an up-and-coming coach named John Harbaugh with the Eagles in 1999.
Nagy's initial experience with Reid's Eagles came in 2008 – the year Harbaugh took over the Ravens – when he served as a coaching intern at training camp. In 2010, Nagy was hired as a coaches' assistant and then promoted to offensive quality control for 2011 and 2012. Â
Born in Plainfield, N.J., Nagy played collegiately at Delaware, setting more than 20 career passing records at the time, including passing yards (8,214) and touchdowns (58). He ranked second for most attempts and completions behind former Delaware star Joe Flacco, who went on to play under Harbaugh and was named MVP of Baltimore's Super Bowl XLVII victory.
Nagy played six seasons in the Arena Football League for the New York Dragons (2002), Carolina Cobras (2004), Georgia Force (2005-06), and Columbus Destroyers (2007-08). During his career, he completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 18,866 yards, 374 touchdowns, and a quarterback rating of 115.1.
