No, Matt House needs to stay at Kentucky and continue to do awesome things with Mark Stoops.

We might as well cue up the inevitable term Spaggots (for people who support Spagnuolo when the defense sucks) and add it to Chiefsplanet lexicon.

SS is the perfect guy to keep DF behind the line of scrimmage! :thumb:

I can think of a few Spaggots on this board already.

About a week too late.

Didn't read all 44 pages so can someone explain to me why this is a good thing? Another Andy Reid yes man? Been sitting at home for a year because he's so good?

I guess I'm still upset that Andy and company didn't have the Chiefs ready for the Patriots.

It's not good. Spags sucks spaggot donkey balls. He's a pile of hot, steaming garbage on top of hot, steaming dogshit. Topped with ebolAIDS-filled antifreeze.

I have no confidence that he can do any improvements through scheme, we'd better get some top-end talent and hope that The Big Spaggot can get them all on the same page.

I admittedly dont know much about his defense.

What is his philosophy with the secondary? Will this team be playing alot of zone? Will they be pressing up in man? Are they going to be giving a 10 yard cushion on 3rd and 5?

Is it a gang tackle type of defense, or is every man responsible to make the tackle on their own like in suttons shitty scheme.

Im not thrilled with this hire, going strictly by numbers provided. I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt based on a sort of “victim of circumstance” in his past dealings. This defense needed a change and they certainly got it. I hope the year off provided him a new energy and spark.

We have the draft. We have FA. We have a few players who may well be ascending and a couple who are already pretty darn good.

Wally doesn't need a world-beater. He needs somebody who can command respect among the players, will be hands-on, and can gameplan for the AFCW and a few other teams (including the Cheaters). That's all he needs.

This isn't a sexy hire, but it doesn't need to be. Wally isn't going to jeopardize this opportunity.

I want to be wrong here, but I feel like this is a lateral move. I want to be wrong, but damn this is disappointing. Just a hire of a guy Reid is comfortable with, that really doesn't seem to have a lot on the resume of keeping defenses good, nor much ability in turning bad defenses around.

This is Andy's last, best chance to win a Super Bowl. If he screwed up this hiring, he deserves to be fired. The Chiefs have a window to make an enormous amount of money and win an incredible number of games with Mahomes. If Reid hired the wrong DC, it is an unforgivable blunder. I really like Reid, but this hire is everything. He has to get this one right.

People keep saying that but Houston, Berry, dj, Hali could never stay on the field. He was constantly shuffling chairs at cb, lb, safety. Suttons scheme succeeded because at the time it was well suited for the NFL. Then the pick play happened. Then tightened rules on pass interference. Sutton tried to adjust to the new nfl and flat out couldn't. By the end it was clear he had no idea what he was doing. He had one ace up his sleeve and God help us if that didn't work. Sutton with talent wasn't going to make the team average. He had zero confidence in his scheme and the players knew it.

What I feel good about is that spagnuolo can flat out coach DB's. We'll improve there. Our D will play with heart they haven't had in years. Our scheme may not be perfect but it's fine for today's nfl. Is that good enough for top 20-25? I feel good about that.

Here's the other question... Is it that spagnuolo needs a ton of talent to be top 20? Or does he just need reasonable time and a good head coach who can put together a stable locker room.

One upside is he's a cover 3 guy and not a cover 2 guy so that should make it where there aren't huge holes in the middle of the field.

Maybe this has been asked, but I’ve had a hard time keeping up with every page...Do you think he will bring in a whole new staff, or does everyone get to keep their job on the shitty defensive staff?
