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.
Yes, let's hire a DC who is infinitely more abrasive with his approach to coach the exact same goddamn shitty ****ing scheme that players were already getting frustrated with. What could go wrong?!? [Reply]
How can you throw his name in there and then shit on Spagnuolo or other veteran DCs. Pagano didnt exactly set the world on fire with his SD defenses.
Ranks:
16, 9, 20, 21, 23
For those worried about experience, he'd done it before. Didn't have great talent, and never coordinated defenses as bad as the ones either Sutton or Spagnuolo have. Also has done a good job in Houston and isn't archaic. [Reply]

So? This team doesn't need someone learning the "on the job" Need to win now.
Why? the fact you asked that says why
I agree it's not a young and exciting name but I'd take this over Rex 100 out of 100 times. Chiefs fans obsession with Rex Ryan is just so bleh. The guy hasn't done squat in a decade either, but gives good press conferences and that's what the fans love I guess. Might as well just throw dynamite in the locker room and save yourself the time.
Spags is going to need talent, but I think that's true regardless. The truly great defenses have been loaded with talent. There aren't many Bill Belichick's out there making chicken salad. I don't really care about the 4-3/3-4 thing. We just need someone who can put out a defense that is disciplined and can make adjustments. We shall see. [Reply]

Great stuff, especially what Barber said about Spags coaching the position coaches vs Sutton who left them alone. Also interesting about Ford possibly playing SAM linebacker. [Reply]
I could’ve been down for Dennis Allen too. But overall this just isn’t a bad hire at all. It comes off pretty vanilla, but when you look at the draft last year some of the picks make a lot of sense for what he will want to do. [Reply]

Are you talking about Spags being abrasive? He's a player's coach. [Reply]

Yeah but he'd give great press conferences every single flipping year where he'd guarantee that they were going to the playoffs. That's really what's important. I really don't care if we win as long as we have a coach that can chew out the players and say outlandish things in press conferences. [Reply]

You’re the only person on this board that would rather have Pagano. Even the people that don’t like this hire would prefer a SB winning DC over a guy who’s done absolutely nothing of note in his career.
You want to pretend like anything good that Spags didn’t even happen because he had talent. You could literally do that with any DC that’s ever had a lot of success. [Reply]

Man you don’t read between the lines at all. If I had to guess, you were probably one of the many fans who thought mahomes would suck bc he threw picks in training camp. [Reply]
