Matt Nagy knows what he’d do differently if he gets another NFL head coaching job | The Athletic
Nagy knows now that if he becomes a head coach again, he will try to hire an assistant who will tell him when he’s off course, like he does with Reid. He didn’t have that in Chicago.

The Edward Jones Dome was the former home of the St. Louis Rams, before they moved to Los Angeles after the 2015 NFL season. Now called The Dome at America’s Center, it is publicly owned through the St. Louis Regional Sports Authority and is operated by the St. Louis Convention & Visitors Bureau. It still hosts events—legendary rock band AC/DC and country music star Zach Bryan are both scheduled to perform there in 2026—but it has struggled financially. In August, a state auditor report found that it is not prepared for the upkeep costs that will be required going forward; while it will need roughly $155 million in repairs and maintenance over the next decade, the St. Louis Regional Sports...
