As first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport earlier this week, the Baltimore Ravens completed an interview Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy for their head coaching vacancy today. This follows completed interviews with Vance Joseph, Davis Webb, Klint Kubiak, and Kevin Stefanski. The Ravens have requested to interview multiple other candidates, as well.

Nagy, 47, has a long history in the NFL dating back to 2008 when he started with the Philadelphia Eagles as a coaching intern. He stayed with the Eagles for a few more years in offensive assistant roles before joining the Chiefs in 2013 as their quarterbacks coach. Nagy was promoted to Kansas City’s offense coordinator in 2016 and 2017 before he was hired by the Chicago Bears as their new head coach in 2018.

Nagy’s head coaching stint with the Bears ended in 2021 after the team opted to part ways with him. In his four years as Chicago’s head coach, the Bears went 34-31 overall with one playoff appearance. Nagy won Coach of the Year in 2018 after leading the Bears to a 12-4 record and No. 3 seed in the NFC but failed to finish better than .500 over the next three years.

He then re-joined Kansas City in 2022 as the Chiefs’ quarterback coach and a senior offensive assistant. The following year, he became their offensive coordinator again and has held that role for the past three seasons. During his most recent stint as the team’s OC, the Chiefs made two Super Bowl appearances and won one in 2023 before missing the playoffs this year.

Kansas City’s offense has been less potent and consistent in recent seasons than they were earlier in the first half of the Andy Reid-Patrick Mahomes era. Reid, Mahomes, and Travis Kelce have long headlined the Chiefs’ offensive success. Having served under Reid’s tutelage and worked with the aforementioned stars, Nagy has likely acquired valuable knowledge and perspective — which could equip him to get another shot as a head coach.

3 Ravens selected to 2025 All-Pro Teams

While the Baltimore Ravens’ 2025 season was collectively a disappointment, certain players still had impressive individual campaigns. After having six of their own voted to the Pro Bowl a few weeks ago, the Ravens saw three players announced as Associated Press 2025 All-Pro selections earlier this week.

Kyle Hamilton and Jordan Stout were each awarded with first-team All-Pro nods, while Patrick Ricard was selected as a second-team All-Pro. Hamilton and Stout were the leading vote-getters at the safety and punter positions, and Ricard was second behind Kyle Juszczyk of the San Francisco 49ers.

For Hamilton, this marks his third consecutive season earning an All-Pro nomination. He was previously named to the first team in 2023 and made the second team last season. After another tremendous all-around season in 2025, Hamilton rightfully finds himself back on the first team.

The 24-year-old totaled 105 tackles, seven tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, and a sack. Hamilton’s role changed in the middle of the season and he began playing closer to the line of scrimmage again, which coincided with the Ravens’ defense improving significantly. Hamilton was impactful and consistent in all phases of defensive play as a coverage player, pass-rusher, and run defender.

Look no further to the regular season finale to see proof of Hamilton’s importance to the Ravens’ success. When he exited the team’s Week 18 matchup early in the third quarter after suffering a concussion, the Pittsburgh Steelers scored 23 second-half points after putting up just three points in the first half. If Hamilton had not been knocked out of the game, the final result very well may have been different.

Ricard is also a perennial All-Pro representative now, too. “Project Pat” was named a first-team All Pro last season as well and made the second team in 2023. Ricard missed the first six games of the 2025 season with a calf injury and didn’t debut until late October. Despite his extended absence, he evidently performed well enough in the final 11 games to collect another first-team selection at a shallow fullback position.

Upon his return to the lineup, Ricard instantly made an impact as a blocker and helped the Ravens’ rushing attack find more consistency. His pass protection ability was also important to aid an offensive line that was very shaky for much of the season in that area.

Stout’s All-Pro selection is his first ever and is well-deserved recognition after a career-best season. The 27-year-old made a big jump in his fourth season, just in time to potentially earn himself a contract extension. Stout, who also made the Pro Bowl team, set career-highs in yards per punt (50.1) net yards per punt (44.9), and longest punt (74 yards).

Among all punters, Stout’s 74-yard punt was the third longest in the league. He is yards per punt average ranked No. 5 and his net yards per punt average was the second-best mark in the NFL. Stout was inconsistent through his first three seasons but was solid from start to finish in Year 4.
