Report: Titans ask to interview Nagy, others for head coaching job

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy is among the candidates the Tennessee Titans have requested to interview for their head coaching job, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

The Titans also asked for permission to talk to Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, and Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Tennessee is also expected to speak with Kevin Stefanski, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The two-time Coach of the Year was fired by the Cleveland Browns on Monday.

Nagy and Spagnuolo have ties to general manager Mike Borgonzi, who served in Kansas City's front office before heading to Tennessee. The Titans announced last week that Borgonzi will handle their coaching search.

The Titans fired Brian Callahan after a 1-5 start this season. Interim coach Mike McCoy went 2-9.

Nagy was head coach of the Chicago Bears from 2018-21. His four-year stay got off to a promising start with a division title and 12-4 record in 2018, but he went 22-27 over his final three seasons, including a 6-11 mark in his final campaign.

Before his stint in Chicago, Nagy had been quarterbacks coach and then offensive coordinator in Kansas City. He returned to the Chiefs after his firing and once again served as quarterbacks coach before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2023.

Joseph and Spagnuolo also have history as head coaches. Joseph went 11-21 over two seasons as the Broncos' sideline boss from 2017-18 while Spagnuolo holds an 11-41 mark. He did this over three seasons as St. Louis Rams head coach from 2009-2011 and a four-game stint as the Giants' interim coach in 2017.
