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.

Houston will probably be a DE

Williams and Nnadi will be DT
Hitchens will be a MLB
O'Daniel will be OLB (weakside probably) [Reply]

Again, the Chargers did this from 2016 to 2017 and got much better. It’s not about scheme, it’s matching the players you have to the right scheme. Right now, ours fit a 4-3 better than a 3-4 and it’s also easier to find college players out of a 4-3.
Not worried about 4-3 making 2019 a wasted year. Worried about Spagnuolo making the next 5 years a “wasted half decade”. [Reply]
Chiefs hired ex-Giants DC Steve Spagnuolo as defensive coordinator.
The cocoon hire to end all cocoon hires, Spags should at least be an improvement on Bob Sutton. Spagnuolo occasionally oversaw fearsome defenses with the Giants. Personnel was sometimes an issue the second time around. Spagnuolo began his NFL coaching career under Andy Reid in Philadelphia. If the bar is merely to be better than Sutton, Spags will clear it. Personnel issues and the Chiefs' style of play means the defense will almost certainly still give up a boatload of points in 2019.
Anyone, repeat, A-N-Y-O-N-E is better than Bob Sutton. It was long overdue. Fresh voice, fresh take, new schemes. Justin Houston staring at the back of his locker after the AFC Championship loss said “we ain’t goin anywhere with this motherfucker...”
That defense last year was retarded and undisciplined. This is a good thing. Get on board with it, or get run over. [Reply]
The ink hasn’t even dried yet and some people are already shitting on this guy. I would have settled for a parking cone over Sutton so I’ll give him a shot before I crucify him. [Reply]

Isn't Berry going to need some kind of detachment/reattachment of his Achilles to fix the fucking Haglund's? And won't that sideline him for a good portion of next season?
