The #Chiefs are hiring Steve Spagnuolo as their new defensive coordinator, sources say. The former #Giants DC and interim HC/#Rams HC began his NFL coaching career as an #Eagles assistant under Andy Reid. Now rejoins Big Red in KC.

Seems to be a lot of debate on that here at CP. Berry and his agent played it right by not having surgery until now. Chiefs will be on the hook for an extra $7.25M if he can't pass a physical on March 15. So yeah, Chiefs may be left with no option but to keep him. [Reply]

But being realistic, I don't think good candidates were going to be ok with having asst's already in place being forced on them. A Richard, Hewitt or a Rex Ryan likely wasn't going to have the DL coach already picked.
We lost out on the good DCs when we beat Indy. If we lose to Indy because of the defense.....I believe we would have gone after Bowles or Wilks. [Reply]
There's just no way our D can be worse at game winning/losing/tying drives in the 4th Q than they were under Sutton. It's impossible.
And it also filters down to the position coaches. Our technique is bad, our recognition is bad, our tactics are bad. Some of that isn't Sutton's direct responsibility. But quality control is. And teaching - which apparently he gave up on a long time ago.
New blood + not old and braindead = I expect better things. [Reply]
Kill me all y’all want but a hire of someone who was the DC over the worst NFL defense in history, context be damned, the WORST DEFENSE IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL
Let that sink in, couple that with a fundamental scheme change to 4-3....
I’m not excited, I pray I’m wrong. But nothing in Spags history points to anything but next year being the same without pass rush. We have to hit on all our draft picks and FA just to have a chance to be middle of pack. [Reply]
1. Restructure Houston's contract.
2. Tag and trade Ford.
3. Cut Ragland, Sorensen and Murray.
4. Draft: Amani Oruwariye, CB, Penn State, Germaine Pratt, LB, N.C. State and Nasir Adderley, S, Delaware in the first two rounds.
Speaks - Nnadi - Jones - Houston
DOD - Pratt - Hitchens
Fuller - Berry/Lucas - Adderley/Watts - Oruwariye [Reply]

Nothing? Like the rings that he has or the time when he had a top 10 defense? Nothing? [Reply]
