3. Brad Childress

At this moment, this may be the most unlikely decision, but it also could come with a variety of ramifications. Childress is obviously still with the staff and is currently listed as a senior offensive assistant. This adds to the idea that one of these coaches who comes in has to be familiar with Childress.

Childress was with Reid from 2000-2005 and came back as a variety of things from offensive coordinator to assistant head coach with the Kansas City Chiefs.

There has been discussion about Matt Nagy giving up play-calling and taking more of a CEO approach of the team. Perhaps giving Childress a promotion would have him more in control of that CEO approach, and to handle game management while Nagy focuses solely on the play calls.

Childress has NFL head coach experience from 2006-2010. The team has liked Dave Ragone and have stuck with him for a while, and could promote with to offensive coordinator while naming Childress an assistant coach.

The team could solve a problem of letting Chase Daniel go by making him a quarterback coach and adding a more legitimate backup. Daniel is essentially a glorified quarterback coach anyways.

There would likely have to be a name from the outside to satisfy fans in this scenario. However, due to the familiarity, you have to make this a potential possibility.
