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.

Just think Berry is going to continue to be an albatross. I really, really, really hope he has the Haglund's corrective surgery and we don't have to worry about cutting him, because we are too excited that he has returned to form.
The deformity did not just show up overnight. Berry has had months to deal with it and hasn't. He is going to stretch it out and do it before camp. He wants another year of cheerleading and being the highest paid safety in the NFL. I don't want to have another year talking about Berry's fucking foot. He is an expensive distraction that needs to be surgically removed from the team. Yes, the dead cap money sucks, but so does wasting that spot for a guy that never intends on playing again to a level he is being paid for. [Reply]

He was really good.
and he was the sort of guy that usually makes a good coach. Not all that physically gifted; he got by on being smart and fundamentally sound. he was the 'Kevin Ross' to Surtain's 'Albert Lewis'. [Reply]
I just want coaches and players that hate losing as much as Mahomes does. I think if we find those guys everything else will work out.
Houston and Berry say the right things, but they've been on so many one and done teams and now crappy defenses that they seem to be content with just playing out the string. We need a Ray Lewis type with endless motor who's not afraid to jump on guys for taking plays off or giving a crappy tackling effort. [Reply]

Agreed 100%.
And you can't have some guy out there yelling at everyone and then turning around and playing like shit; that isn't going to work. [Reply]

If all these hirings flesh out, there will be a level of accountability on the defensive side of the ball not matched in years. It will challenge the offense and Reid too, which isn’t a bad thing. Reid can get comfy, and the late-season and AFCCG playcalling was not his best work of the season. Hopefully Spags can light a fire and keep Reid focused on how teams can attack his tendencies. I expect a talent infusion on defense, and an urgent mindset in reaching the Superbowl considering how this early offseason has materialized. [Reply]
