Matt Nagy explains how Chiefs are holding players accountable in 2023

Errors and miscues have cost the Kansas City Chiefs multiple games this season as the team continues to work to tighten things up before the postseason. The word accountability is being thrown around more regarding the coaching staff and their message to players.

Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy has worked with his offensive unit to fix the problems this season while handling and moving forward from criticism. During Thursday’s press conference, he spoke with reporters about his form of accountability to his players and the coaches at the facility.

“Yeah, there’s discussions in the building. And again, I’m not going to get into how or what I mean,” Nagy explained. “I have so much respect for EB (Eric Bieniemy); he’s one hell of a coach, and so many coaches in this league have different coaching styles of how they handle and how they do things.

“I would just say that our coaches on staff and myself and coach Reid, every player’s different on how they handle being coached. And so there’s a little bit of that, too, with how you handle certain guys; some can handle tough criticism, others can’t. So there’s a feel to it, but in the end, we got to make sure that the product out there is scoring touchdowns and winning football games.”

Patrick Mahomes has preached accountability recently as Wednesday in front of reporters, referring back to his relationship with former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. The Chiefs understand how important it is to rebuild continuity heading into another Super Bowl run.
