On Thursday morning, two separate reports provided more information on the new coaching staff being assembled by the Kansas City Chiefs.
- According to senior reporter Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, the Chiefs will be hiring Villanova wide receivers coach Nate Pagan to be a quality control coach.
- ESPN’s Pete Thamel published a report saying Kansas City is expected to hire Coastal Carolina safeties coach C.J. Cox as a quality control coach.
Pagan is coming off his seventh season as the wide receivers coach for the Villanova Wildcats after two years as an offensive assistant at the school. One of the most successful players he coached in his time was wide receiver Jaaron Hayek, who earned a spot on the Chiefs’ 90-man offseason roster after standing out at rookie minicamp in 2024.
Cox is a well-known defensive backs coach collegiately; he has led the cornerbacks or safeties for a college football program every year since 2017. He has participated in the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship three times, including twice with the Chiefs during the 2022 and 2023 offseasons.
