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 was an inch off of Lake Dawson's fingertips from saving the game.
As for Grbac, coaches did things different back then. Starters didn't lose their jobs to injury if they were cleared to play.
I think Belicheat was the first time I saw a starter flat out lose his job to injury, when he kept Brady as the starter and Drew Bledsoe was healthy.
Gannon was on a pretty hot streak while Grbac was out with the collarbone. Should've stuck with Gannon, and then if he faltered, you could put Grbac in there at that point.
I think if Gannon retained that starting job over Grbac, the Chiefs win the Denver game. [Reply]

The fact people still argue for Grbac when we had to burn two of our precious 2nd half timeouts in the 3rd quarter because Grbac was "out of breath" is wild. Grbac wasn't even trusted to throw the ball deep in the first half like it was a preseason game and didn't even have the conditioning to play. That makes his argument dead to rights from the beginning.
What I tell myself is that even a Super Bowl loss to the Packers with Gannon could have created a butterfly effect that kept us from getting Patrick... and given us even more sorrow in our franchise to boot. [Reply]

that's some shit I remember vividly, when Gannon came in during that game he almost hit Lake Dawson for the winner and it was cold as hell that day. The offense was kinda rolling with Gannon, not putting up anything amazing stat wise but I remember thinking this had to be the year and then marty fucked it up. [Reply]

I hate Spags, and I really have no complaints today. The only thing that even annoyed me was two plays where Chris Jones, and then Frank Clark, were in coverage on wide receivers 10-15 yards down field.
Normally, this would piss me off, because there is no possible way that either of them can succeed in pass coverage, and Spags always puts players in position to fail. But, I knew that the Rams couldn't score enough to win
