I thought his interactions with Mahomes may have helped cause the Bengals AFCCG 2nd half collapse.
I wanted him gone.
Obviously, to me now, the friction between Mahomes and EB was like the spark for the offensive flamethrower that we were torching everyone with.
Nagy is a goofy, let-me-be-your-friend type of coach, because I am sure that's what he thinks Andy Reid is, but unfortunately, Nagy doesn't have the same affect on players.
Reid is laid back, but he must be a truth teller, and players are disappointed personally when they let Andy down. No one cares about letting Nagy down, probably because he doesn't tell the truth. He continues to be their hype man, instead of telling the truth.
I don't know. None of us do. We are not in meetings, or the locker room, etc. But what we can do is look at the product on the field.
From game 1 vs the Lions, the team looked sloppy. Bad penalties, no one was sharp on offense, and for having the entire off-season to prepare for that game, in Prime Time, with the entire world watching, it was kinda embarrassing.
I know one play lost that game, but we should have looked sharp, or at least sharper. And it just snowballed from there.
So, EB coming back is a long shot, but Nagy being excised from the coaching staff shouldn't be. Unfortunately, we all know how Reid operates. So, Nagy will be here until someone else hires him away, or Reid retires. Let's hope he doesn't longer than that.
If Nagy goes on to become a great HC somewhere, great. I don't want him to be the Chiefs head coach, because I don't even want him as the OC.
