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.

Sutton’s scheme actually was very complicated if you’ve ever heard ppl talk about it. That’s why there were a lot of communication breakdowns that led to blown coverages. And if you watched, you’d notice hitch was trying to read things before reacting. It made him look slow but really he was taking a second to read what he needed to do. [Reply]

Shawn Barber was talking about it today I think. He was a coaching intern with the Chiefs and said Sutton's scheme wasn't simple. [Reply]

Yeah, Rex could be either really good or it could be a completely combustible situation and could totally lose a locker room. [Reply]

I think that may have been the biggest issue, sometimes the best defensive just man up and play hard and fast.
The Chiefs look like a team that thinks way to much on that side. [Reply]
Sutton's system was pretty complex and I really doubt he was working all that hard to teach it to the younger guys, which is why he always stuck with his old vets even if they sucked out loud.
I think Hewitt would have been my top choice, along with bringing in someone like Dick LeBeau to be a senior advisor till he got established. Oh well. [Reply]

And I think that will be the biggest immediate difference. Less thinking and just getting back to playing ball. [Reply]
