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.

The only reason they would cut Houston or let Ford go is injury concerns.

It’s gonna be interesting to see how much improvement Daly gets out of Ford and Jones in their run defense...as he’s the run defense coordinator. And both players are lacking in that area of their game.

That’s gonna be the difference between winning a Super Bowl or losing in the playoffs the next couple seasons.

So the new defensive coaching staff lists Britt Reid as an "OLB coach". Does that mean there's a chance Spags sticks with with the 3-4?

It means he's the outside linebacker coach.

he's learning to coach the entire defense. This will give him a lot of experience with the front seven.

We can draft someone younger to earn such a contract in the future if they are capable.

Yup I’m with you here Pugs. Veach traded up for Speaks. I think he’s starting next season.

I'd bet they don't even do that.

I personnally absolutely think they will.

Next year will be IMO the Chiefs best chance at a Superbowl in the next few years. They need to go all in without sacrificing the future and I believe they know that.

The draft won't be enough to really improve the defense.

They need some FAs.

A trade is also a possibility.

This is a big big offseason for Veach. Anything short of reaching the SB next year will be unacceptable.
