Report: Giants hiring Matt Nagy as new offensive coordinator

Former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator and Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy has his next gig. He’s joining John Harbaugh’s inaugural staff with the New York Giants as their offensive coordinator, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Nagy has been Andy Reid’s right-hand man for the past couple of seasons, although he didn’t call plays for the Chiefs. He was thought to be the favorite for the Tennessee Titans gig, which went to Robert Saleh. By the time he found out, Kansas City already moved on, bringing Eric Bieniemy back to be their offensive coordinator once again.

It may not be a hire that excites the fanbase in New York, but Nagy brings a wealth of experience to the table for the Giants. Harbaugh, the 24th head coach in franchise history, is hoping to return the franchise to the playoffs and respectability, and he believes Nagy can help him with that.

“This is the New York Giants,” Harbaugh told ESPN when he was hired. “I’m proud and honored to the head coach of this historic franchise, and especially excited to work with the Mara and Tisch families. But most of all, I can’t wait to get started with the great players on this football team to see what we can accomplish together.”

Moreover, Harbaugh interviewed with multiple teams after his firing from the Baltimore Ravens after 18 seasons. The 63-year-old chose the Giants, a chance to work under owner John Mara and work with quarterback Jaxson Dart, among other talented players on New York’s roster.

Harbaugh’s deal with the organization is expected to be for five years with a total value that nears $100 million, per league insider Jordan Schultz. He guided the Ravens to a 180-113 record across 18 seasons, earning 12 trips to the postseason.

Continuing, Harbaugh led Baltimore to a Super Bowl XLVII victory over the San Francisco 49ers. While the Ravens never got to the Super Bowl in any other season under Harbaugh, they made three additional AFC Championship Game appearances. 

Additionally, Harbaugh is one of the most respected coaches in the NFL and it’s not often a coach with 180 wins comes available. New York acted fast in setting up an in-person meeting with Harbaugh and getting him to sign before he was set to interview with the Tennessee Titans. The Giants recognized the opportunity, bringing on a proven winner to help stabilize the franchise. 

New York has won just 13 games over the last three season, finishing 4-13 in 2025. The club has made just two trips to the postseason since its Super Bowl XLVI victory over the New England Patriots in 2012. 

Alas, Harbaugh is a CEO head coach. He doesn’t call plays on either side of the ball, so his hires have been important. Dennard Wilson was his choice on defense, and now Nagy will control the offense. We’ll see how it all works out.
