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.

Those fans would’ve loved to have him back 2 years removed from that. Also had mcnabb leading that offense who wasn’t nearly as good as mahomes and still took them to a SB and had a winning playoff record with multiple conference championship appearances. [Reply]

No, they were glad he was gone and still are. Even through the Chip Kelly era. Don't think the regret those few years at all since it led them to now. [Reply]

Well uh, you have to considering so far....they aren't wrong. [Reply]

They were pissed about the Pederson hire! Literally said it was the safe move. Heard it called Andy reid-esk. Said it would get them nowhere. They also were pumped about chip. They’ve been wrong at almost every point lol. [Reply]
So we've talked about Bountygate in 2012. Joe Vitt took over for Payton as HC for 1 years. Several suspended players on Defense. Very good excuse for 1 year of failure.
This is absolutely worth a read. The Giants were the #2 scoring Defense in 2016. In case you want to be reminded of how big a disaster Ben McAdoo was. https://deadspin.com/report-giants-p...doo-1820276114
Think this maybe has something to do with the Giants downfall in 2017? McAdoo had players playing full practices on Saturdays. Suspends 2 CBs. Spagnuolo forced to suspend Eli Apple at the end of the year. Players walking out of practice. So yeah... is it possible that the Giants 2016 defense, in the hands of a good head coach, could have been successful in 2017 under Spagnuolo? Again... for now it's an excuse, but there's a chance that it's actually a fair explanation. [Reply]

Correct me if I am wrong but the last 2 OC's Reid picked are now HC's, right? One of them with a ring as well. [Reply]
