The Facts: Matt Nagy isn't the only coach on his way out of Kansas City. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and James Palmer reported Monday that Chiefs assistant head coach Brad Childress is planning to retire after 19 years in the league, according to sources.

Pelissero added that "it doesn't sound like [head coach] Andy Reid will be able to talk him out of it," noting that Childress is "at peace" with the decision. Childress is best known for his up-and-down head-coaching stint with the Minnesota Vikings, which lasted from 2006 to midway through the 2010 campaign, a run that peaked with a Brett Favre-led jaunt to the NFC title game in 2009. The 61-year-old Childress also served as offensive coordinator for the Eagles (2002-2005) and Browns (2012) before joining Reid's staff the following season. Chiefs running backs coach Eric Bieniemy has the “inside track” to replace Matt Nagy as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
