ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Chiefs hire Steve Spagnuolo as new defensive coordinator

“I would love to do that (be a head coach) again, but I will preface by saying I’ve got a really good job right now and want to just hang on to the one I got,” he said. “I know how this league is. But that burning desire is there. If it’s in God’s plans, it’ll happen. And if not, I’m still a very fortunate man, very, very blessed.”

From an interview shortly after the Super Bowl.

Makes sense. He seems like a chill guy.

We should have kept Houston.

Houston didn’t want to be here. He wouldn’t take a reduced salary and ended up getting a reduced salary anyway in FA.

If we kept Houston we probably don’t get some of our FA’s in 2019 bc we would be paying Houston an obscene cap hit.

We’ve been over this about 500 times in the last nearly 2 years but it’s not surprising your dumbass can’t figure it out.

It's not so much he didn't like being here. The Chiefs wanted him to take a paycut and he wouldn't. It's a pride thing to take a paycut from a different team, not your own. Totally get it from both sides.

Think there's any chance he gets a look as a head coach if our defense continues to improve?

Sounds logical to me. Patricia/Bluto was given a few laps as HC, and if the Chiefs score back-to-back Championships, I’d bet he’s for sure at least mentioned.

I think he definitely deserves another shot. I think he'd probably be a great HC in the right situation. I'd much rather he waited another couple years though, purely out of selfish reasons, but if he got an opportunity and he wanted to go, I could hardly blame him.

It has been reported that Houston was unwilling to take a pay cut without getting more guaranteed money in future seasons.

The Chiefs were not interested in giving him more guaranteed money after performing sub-par on that current contract, on the wrong side of 30, and he was definitely overpaid.

So he was cut in order for the Chiefs to save money.
