Typically when we’re talking about Matt Nagy’s coaching hires there tends to be some kind of Andy Reid connection. Someone that worked on his staff or someone that Nagy worked with. But Lazor doesn’t hail from the Andy Reid coaching tree.

Lazor was with the Philadelphia Eagles for a short time, but it was after Reid was fired. But if you really want to dig deep to find as close of a connection as you can, Lazor did spend 2008 in Seattle coaching under Mike Holmgren, who Reid served under at one time.
