ya how is nobody even looking at him for HC?

Dude is the GOAT!

Greatest hire in team history after Andy.

Spags really should get a metric shit ton more credit than he's gotten. He won that game.

Under 14 per game.

Incredible.

Said it back in 2021, and it finally came true. The juggernaut Chiefs defense is finally here.

That was one game with Bob Sutton.

The Chiefs held Baltimore - the league's No. 1 rushing offense - to 81 yards on the ground last night.

It marked the first time that the Ravens didn't top 100 rushing yards as a team since Week 1 of the 2022 season, a span of 36 games.

****ing beautiful man

I just thought of something today. And it’s the attention to detail that separates a good coach from a great.

Remember the multiple scuffles Kelce specifically got in with the DBs over punching at the ball in training camp?

Meanwhile McDuffie was second in the nfl to Antoine Winfield in forced fumbles, and Sneed made the biggest play of the year

Agreed, but being 64 probably works in our favor.

Who says that he even wants to be a HC again? He's with his buddy Reid and winning rings.

Said it during last years Super Bowl media blitz.

I think age is a concern. And when he was HC, it apparently went over horribly.

So yeah, not really any suitors and honestly I don't think Spags even wants to. He came out of retirement for Reid's sake and I think he's just happy sticking with Reid until the very end.

Look at his coaching history

As a coach:
Massachusetts (1981–1982)
Graduate assistant
Washington Redskins (1983)
Player personnel intern
Lafayette (1984–1986)
Defensive line coach & special teams coach

His closet must be amazing. All of that gear. It is a literal Goodwill.

NFL Europe to NFL Hall of Fame

not bad

I don't remember what I thought when we hired him, I think I was pretty neutral, but this year his 2nd half adjustments are second to no human being on the planet. Truly legendary adjustments.

Steve gonna dial up Purdypain!

Steve will have a purdy good day in making Mr Irrelevant totally irrelevant

Do the Chiefs beat the Faketriots in the AFC Championship Game and win the Super Bowl if Spags was the DC over Bob Sutton?

With the same defensive personnel… mediocre secondary, Haglund Eric Berry, Dee Ford, etc.

Not sure if this was posted but if anybody wants that shirt in spags we trust.

Steady job at the ring factory, works with top tier defensive players, cooking up a schemes, teaching up the rookies. Great relationship with offensive minded HC who doesn't micro-manage and gives him tons of credit.

Does not have to deal with management, ownership, all the media, and day-to-day crap of being a HC.

I think Spags will go as long as Reid will go, barring personal matters. Reid partnered with Jim Johnson up until he passed, hopefully Andy retires in 2+ years and then we’ll likely need to rebuild that staff and team with Patrick’s input on the next HC.

Wow, ok. Can you also post a link to a low interest bank loan?

Yes. Had Ford been onsides they win with Sutton as DC. Spags is a much better DC than Sutton and he would have made this defense better than league worst. They would have done enough to beat NE and probably the Rams in the SB.

GET THAT SHIRT OUTTA HERE

Why wasn't Spags at least up for Assistant Coach award? Jim Schwartz won the award for his job as DC of the Browns but with what Spags did with the young defense of the Chiefs it's hard to imagine he wasn't even a consideration.

The only coordinator to have 4 rings? GOAT and if they don't him in the hall of fame then they may as well just say that coordinators aren't allowed to be selected.

Good hire.

So Steve, just letting you know that you are not in the running for Defensive Coordinator of the year.

"The **** you say?"https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0e9810c1ee.jpg

Honestly agree with u

I hope he's better than Bob :)

I think it's cool he sounds exactly what he looks like. If I never heard him talk and then he talked. Id be like...totally get it.

Look at this. Entire season on the line. Niners run the clock way down if they get a 1st here. Spags runs out 2 linemen, 2 linebackers and 4 safeties and then to top it off blitzes with McDuffie. What a call.

My sphincter almost ate it self on that play.

Spags was milling around with the safeties way back, and I was screaming at the TV to send the house.

that was one of the best disguised blitzes I've seen

1: Andy

2: Hank (it's close but a HC to win a SB and considering the historic factors with it still being near the time of the merger)

3: Spags


4 and beyond: However you want to rank any other coach in Chiefs history

Agreed.

Hank set the example of what this franchise is meant be. Andy and Spags are fulfilling it to the highest degree.

He has to be the first HOF Coordinator just based on those merits, yeah? Has been acknowledged as one of the key reasons the Giants upset the undefeated Patriots in 07 and now has 3 Championships with us.

Spags did a magnificent job taking the 49ers run game away like he did with the Ravens. There is a reason why these teams decided to pass the ball because he forced them to.

15.75 PPG in the playoffs against the best offenses in the league over a 4 game span.

Put that man's name on the building Clark. Him and Mahomes are the drivers of this championship. He's truly one of a kind. Unreal.

The Donks got sucked off for their defensive run in 2015.

This was more impressive.

Anyone think we win these last two chips with Sutton at the helm?

It’s looking a hell of a lot like that 2018 AFCCG loss, though a real bitch of a loss at the time, was crucial to our long-term success.

Funny how things work out.

No. In fact, we probably don't have any SB wins if Sutton is still DC. Probably don't even get to the SB more than once with Uncle Bob. If that.

Sutton was so terrible. Reid is way too loyal.

Spags was on another interview saying that Nick is the SMARTEST player he's ever had in all his decades of coaching.

There was also an mic'd up earlier in the year, I think it was Reid, where Bolton goes to him on the sideline and goes "how'd you like that call?" and Reid was like "loved it!" Showing that it's a LOT of Bolton out there calling the defensive plays with Spags.

This makes me really believe that it is Nick that is like the Pat of the defense, where Jones is more like the Kelce.

They both need each other, but Bolton's genius gets lost in some of the hype noise around everyone else, eg Jones, Sneed, McDuffie etc

Theres this fun video by Jon Bois that talks about this godawful defensive drive the Chiefs had in 2011 vs the Jets that, through an unbelievable butterfly effect, led to Andy Reid getting hired in 2013.

I like to think its no different with Spags, if we don't lose that AFCCG, we probably don't fire Sutton and hire Spags.

LMAO

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHs3I53W...pg&name=medium

Teams are so desperate to break up our dynasty. I fully expect a lot of our free agents to get bigger contracts just for that purpose. I think teams will overpay our players just so they leave us.

I don't know if it's even allowed in the NFL or not. But I've thought that some team owner is going to try and poach Brett Veach with a massive GM offer like the red sox did in moneyball

Probably why we extended him through 2029. And in 2027 we will probably try to extend him again.

Clark has shown he's willing to pay coaches and GMs whatever they want. Pioli, Dorsey, and Veach have all been the highest paid GMs in the league. So unless Veach makes Reid mad and Reid fires him, Veach is here to stay.

I can't believe Spags is a member of the same species as Bob Sutton.

Inject this into me like an IV drip.

That's beautiful.

I love the fact that Spagnuolo's defenses are not just effective, but also aggressive and fun to watch.

That's just mean.

Trust in Spags.

If watching that Eagles game doesn't make you appreciate Spags, nothing will.

The Eagles sat back and let Cousins shred them.

Spags wouldn't have done that in a million years. Not even in week 2.

That ****er's gonna die with his boots on 100 times out of 100.

It's gonna beat us someday. It may beat us in brutal, heartbreaking fashion that we remember for decades.

But it's put at least one flag over Arrowhead and very arguably 2 (or even 3). Spags is playing with house money in my eyes. And if we go down, we'll go down swinging.

That's a hell of a lot better than playing soft and then getting juked out of your jock at the goalline because you let them walk down there like they were playing against 3rd stringers.

Can't find the longest record before this (if there was one), but with the Cinci game, the Kansas City defense has held opponents below 28 points in 23 straight games, tying the Redskins' 23-game streak in 2009.

Derrick Henry: 3.5 YPC
Zack Moss: 2.8 YPC
Bijan Robinson: 1.9 YPC

Someone with a lot more time and stat-nerd-curiosity should dig deep into Chiefs history since 2019, because this has to be the best 3-game start for run defense in the Spags era ever.

Everyone was focused on Conner missing the tackle at the time, that we didn’t appreciate the impact of this.

the cowards on this board were screaming to let him score during this play

They ALWAYS do on drives like that. It's maddening.

And he didn't.

Spags was sending heat.

He comes home with his shield or on it.

Spags was a Spartan king in a past life

Prevents for losers. Spags isn’t just aggressive, he’s smart about it. Cinci for example knows they’re likely blitzing there bc that’s his MO and they still couldn’t pick it up bc of its disguise and unpredictability. Someone will get us eventually bc that’s how it goes but the record of success will be tilted in his favor bc he’s brilliant.

It's amazing what we can do due to having so many talented safeties. Conner, Cook, and Reid have all be fantastic. I assume Hicks will join the party sometimes soon as well.

I'll never understand loser bullshit like that.

Derrick Henry: 3.5 YPC

It's nuts. We actually have a really good run D.

Derrick Henry avg 3.5 ypc against us, but avg 6.5 ypc in his other 3 games.

Bijan Robinson avg 1.9 ypc against us, but avg 4.9 ypc in his other 3 games.

J.K. Dobbins avg 2.3 ypc against us, but avg 7.4 ypc in his other 3 games. He was stuffed by Pittsburgh last week, too. This run D is legit and is probably the best run D we've had in decades. They might just be elite.
