New York Giants hiring Matt Nagy from Kansas City a major NFL blunder before Super Bowl 2026? Numbers reveal shocking reality

Super Bowl 2026 is almost here but NFL circuit is abuzz due to a big bold move. New York Giants are hiring Matt Nagy to be their offensive coordinator from Kansas City, according multiple media outlets. Nagy's primary order of business will be to continue the development of prized quarterback ‌Jaxson Dart. Nagy spent the past three seasons in the ‌same post with the Kansas City Chiefs, who welcomed back Eric Bieniemy to replace him as offensive coordinator.

Nagy spent the past three seasons in that role with Kansas City, including helping the Chiefs win the Super Bowl in the 2023 season and reach the title game in 2024. Nagy coached Chicago from 2018-21 after several years moving up the ranks working under Andy Reid in Kansas City and Philadelphia.


He is the second major addition for new Giants coach John Harbaugh’s staff after Dennard Wilson was hired to be defensive coordinator. Todd Monken was the favorite to run the offense before he got his first NFL head coaching job when the Cleveland Browns hired him.

New York reportedly was interested in ‍Todd Monken -- Harbaugh's offensive coordinator the last three seasons in Baltimore -- to ‍fill its ⁠OC position. Monken, ⁠however, was hired as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

The Giants finished fifth in rushing and 13th in total offense this past season. Dart, a first-round selection from the 2025 draft, totaled 24 touchdowns (15 passing, nine rushing) and five interceptions in 14 games (12 starts).

The Chiefs ranked 20th in the league in offense last season, missing the playoffs in the process. Eric Bieniemy, who held the job before Nagy, is returning to the team.

Nagy also was the OC in ​Kansas City in 2017 ​before serving as the head coach of ‌the Chicago ‍Bears from 2018-21, where he ‍had a 34-31 record.

Nagy was unsuccessful ‌in his bid to nab one of the vacant head coaching positions this offseason and now will join new head coach John Harbaugh with the Giants.
