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.

I'm talking about his entire tenure here. This year was a catastrophe both regular season and post season. [Reply]

No offense, but if he didn't get it done then who cares?
I imagine lots of people could fill up a quality roster if they just got to pick and choose whoever they want. You have to be able to get it done as well.
Credit to him for being able to see a good player if we are giving out participation awards. [Reply]

I find it really hard to believe he's a 31 or 32 defense guy when you actually look at the context behind many of his poor defensive rankings. [Reply]

What you’re not getting is that doesn’t mean you go and try to get every “top guy” at that position. Veach goes after players, not positions.
Out of last years FA corners Veach liked Fuller. Do you really wish he would’ve settled for Trumaine Johnson or Malcolm Butler? [Reply]
Though I typically like a 3-4, I think the talent we have, especially at MLB, we would fare better in a 4-3.
Hitchens will go back to what he was used too in Dallas so hopefully he improves greatly.
Ford could be the odd man out though. I can'st see him as a DE and I cannot see him as a OLB in a 4-3 unless we have been hiding his coverage ability for this very time.
Plus a 4-3 should help us stop the run better.
I think our CB's in Fuller\Nelson\Ward can be upgraded via the draft.
I think Safety is the big ? at the moment. Can you play Watts and Lucas at the same time? [Reply]
