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.

On the topic of Spagnuolo’s defenses struggling in STL and his general struggles as a HC there period, how is that all that different than other coaches we’ve seen lately?
Some good DCs that I can think of off the top of my head that didn’t succeed as a HC: Romeo, Wilkes, Joseph, Rex (mostly).... and that’s just a few to name.
Are you saying you wouldn’t ever want those guys as a DC either? (For those who hate this hire) [Reply]
So what about our cap situation. If Ford signs his tag we'll be around 15-20 mil. We can clear a ton of space in 2020 (Sammy, Hitchens, Berry, Houston).
We could probably offset most of our FA costs to 2020 and beyond (of course we have other contracts to sign).
What does everyone make of FA and who should we target? Who would Spag likely target? [Reply]

Hi Eric! When did you start posting here? I thought you were at the pro bowl? [Reply]

Since your posts generally are complete shit and void of any actual substance.....are you assuming that I'm Eric Fisher because I stated that Dee Ford was the only question mark?
Maybe you should go back and follow the actual fucking conversation that was happening. [Reply]

You changed your screen name to "The Franchise". So I assume your Eric Fisher...
The rest of your post is your normal drivel.... [Reply]

Unless I'm missing someone, only Speaks and Kpassagnon would fit there and that's pretty dubious at best. [Reply]

Well if Houston is at DE....then just two. If you keep Houston at SLB....then add another DE to the needs list. [Reply]
This is what we can pretty much infer as things stand now.
1 Tech- Nnadi/Williams
3 Tech- Jones/???
5 Tech- ???/???
WDE- Ford/???
SLB- Houston/???
Guys like Kpassagnon and Speaks are left to fill in the blanks. Man, I really don't see a way I'd be comfortable with letting either Ford or Houston go now. Swung back around to the tag and see what happens camp with Ford. [Reply]
Speaks is your strongside DE.....it really doesn't matter what everyone's comfort level is at this point. I don't see any other position for him in this defense. [Reply]
