This looks like every single defensive hire the Chiefs have made for the last 15 years. Head coaches hiring buddies with sketchy records. Over and over. . We all know what that's gotten us. But this time! This time will work!
Maybe eventually they'll try something else. Like, you know, how they drafted a QB finally.
Course, half the board hated that at the time because it was risky. Nobody seems to remember that now. Same reason people like this hire. Somehow it's safe. At least that's how the rationalization goes.
News flash: it's not safe.
Doesn't mean it can't work But it would be bucking the odds

Like I said in an earlier post, venables would’ve been the home run hire. But you’re just looking on the surface. Spag was a shit HC and had terrible defenses on that team, then had the saints when Sean Payton was suspended for the season bc of a targeting scandal. He wasn’t brought in to be a HC and will have way less responsibilities than he did in St. Louis. Those seasons stats you might as well throw out bc not many ppl would’ve succeeded in those situations.
Before that he won two super bowls against brady. Only person to beat them twice. This hire isn’t as good as some ppl think but it’s not nearly as bad as you think.
