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.

He made the right call, but most battered Chiefs fans were not loving this news.
This is the Reid era in a nutshell.
Whether it was Spags, or Alex Smith, or even the hiring of Reid himself, we'd been through these things not just once but several times. The reactions here are completely understandable when you look at them in the context of everything we've been through with coaches, GM's, and QB's over the past 30 or so years. [Reply]
You know what happened the last time Reid hired a coordinator who wasn't in his network of coaches? We got Bob Sutton.
Sutton had never once been a coach with Andy Reid. How or why Andy knew about him or selected him I have no idea. Liked his resume enough to take a chance on him, I guess.

Those choices don't always work out.
I assume its the big brain thing we keep hearing about. Supposedly in the offseason coordinators still pick suttons brain. Maybe hes rain man on paper and the film room but that just doesnt translate to the field without a prime EB and DJ to make adjustments in game. [Reply]
I think the players were to blame tonight. There were countless fuck up’s by lots of our defenders. Not tiny fuck ups but full blown WTF fuck up’s [Reply]

If multiple players are making full blown WTF fuck ups, how's that not on coaching? [Reply]
