When Andy Reid said, “He’s great for me. Invaluable for me,” about his OC Matt Nagy, he wasn’t just tossing around compliments like confetti. Nope, Reid meant every word. Recently, he even credited Nagy for the Chiefs’ early-season third-down magic in 2024. “It starts with Matt and what he’s put together for them.” That’s high praise from Big Reid himself—almost like a game ball without the ceremony.
But let’s talk about Nagy’s value beyond the playbook. The guy’s resume is stacked—Eagles, Bears, and now a key piece in Reid’s Lombardi-winning machine in Kansas City. Oh, and did we mention he’s a top pick for the Saints’ head coach gig? Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Just how much is this mastermind worth in dollar signs? Let’s break it down.

What is Matt Nagy’s net worth?
Matt Nagy’s net worth might not be public knowledge, but let’s not kid ourselves—he’s not skimming by on minimum wage. During his four-year stint as the Chicago Bears’ head coach, Nagy reportedly earned around $6.5 million per year—racking up $26 million just from base salary.
Throw in potential bonuses for performance (think playoff runs and winning seasons), and he likely pocketed an extra $8 million. Now, that’s only from what he got in Chicago. We haven’t even taken into account the KC bucks just yet. But if we do then you’re looking at a career earnings ballpark of $39 million.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The #Saints are expected to show interest in #Chiefs OC Matt Nagy for their Head Coach vacancy come the end of the season.

Endorsements? Investments? Not that you can find any linked with Matt. And he wouldn’t crib about it… So, it’s safe to say his net worth is floating between $30 million and $40 million. Not bad for a guy who built his empire from the sidelines! But that being said, how much is Kansas adding to his bank account?

What is the Chiefs OC’s salary?
Matt Nagy’s estimated salary as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator sits between $4–5 million a year. And it’s never too shabby when it reads like that. Plus, his paycheck is no handout, though. It’s performance-based, often spiced up with bonuses for playoff berths, milestones, and, well, those shiny Lombardis.

So, for a guy who joined the Chiefs in 2022 with the aim of “Proving” Nagy’s road back to Kansas City reads like a comeback script. Fired from his head coach role in Chicago after the 2021 season, he returned to KC as a senior assistant and QB coach. By February 2023, he’d climbed back up the ranks to OC. That was just reading like the Wiki page, wasn’t it? Yes, because that wasn’t the proving part here.
What’s your perspective on:
Is Matt Nagy the secret sauce behind the Chiefs' success, or just riding Reid's coattails?
Have an interesting take?
Rather, it’s the two Super Bowls in two years, back-to-back, and now chasing the third to complete the unprecedented 3-peat. As for Nagy, expect him to lock the BIG 3 away because what if New Orleans wants a piece of that? That’s a discussion for another day. But right now, they only want a piece of Nagy’s ingenious… But, honestly, who doesn’t?
