ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Chiefs hire Steve Spagnuolo as new defensive coordinator

I can't remember the other candidates available at the time, but there wasn't really a consensus "That's the guy!" among the fans. Some fans wanted Rex, and other fans were pretty adamant about staying the hell away from him.

Considering how quickly we wanted to rebuild the defense, a first time DC just wasn't in the cards, either. It would have been a big roll of the dice, and more than likely the guy we brought in wouldn't have the connections to the quality position coaches we brought in.

Plus, at some point... I mean, the coach isn't the one strapping on the goddamn helmet. At some point as long as he's not a bumbling reerun, it's up to the players to just ****ing play.

ChiefFanatic is kind of having his period over nothing.

I'm wanting to say the big hotness of the time was Kris Richard from Dallas?

His star fell pretty damn fast, though.

Reads that Spagnuolo is no better than Bob Sutton

Chuckles on his way out

To this day, anyone who wanted Grbroad to start over Gannon can go **** themselves.

How about those that knew Grbac was going to get his starting job back, knowing there wasn't a damn bit of difference between the results, regardless who was playing QB?

Never been a fan. He's rather predictable tbh...at least too much for my liking.

Just my personal opinion...This doesn't mean he's worse/better than Sutton.

IMO you're comparing 2 bowls of shit.

Team needs more (good) pass rush and CB depth.

He's recognized by his peers as one of the most unpredictable defensive playcallers in the league.

Again, the man does have faults. He's not an elite DC. But being predictable is not one of them.

spags fault is trusting his dbs too much, and sometimes it burns him

Communication is so key on the back end. I suspect it's universal, but if not, it's definitely the case for Spags scheme.

Because man, when those guys aren't on the same page, the blown coverages are pretty catastrophic. They don't run a system where a miscommunication gives a guy another step or two - they just run uncovered.

It's nice to see him trusting the rookies this year and letting them learn.

i actually love his scheme as a complement to having patrick mahomes

if your corners get toasted bad on a play, patrick is still here to get that back for you

i think it is nigh perfect, he just needs to be slightly less aggressive a few times a game

we have to remember spags is doing wonders with chris jones and not much else on the defensive line, too

What Spags has done starting two rookie corners, a rookie defensive end, a rookie linebacker, with S3, CB3 also being rookies is a ****ing miracle.

Bolton is a second year player, too. Sneed third year.

It's ridiculous, and they're playing well and getting better every week.

You guys have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

Right now we have very well coached players. Spags is an absurdly good DBs coach. Cullen is outstanding with DL. And Daly is better than he gets credit for.

We give up points on defense but it’s the kind of attacking style we want to support a defense that isn’t afraid of our defense giving up big plays.

Do we still like spags? The D was a no-show today. The Cinci offensive line completely dominated us up front.

spags was fine...27 points against that team in their house is acceptable

kelce lost the game

The D was dogshit. They easily could have scored more if not for a dropped TD and passing up a field goal. They also would have scored on their last drive if they needed the points.

Infuriating to allow that 3rd and 11

Sorry, but that's an elite offense, and we have three rookies, sometimes four, in the secondary, and next to nothing at DE.

Spags makes chicken salad most weeks.

Spags wins the game if Kelce doesn't fumble.
