With all of the young secondary players on the team, it's important that we have a quality defensive secondary coaching group to work with them.

We lost assistant DB Coach Sam Madison to the Miami Dolphins, and I have not heard or read about the Chiefs hiring any new additions.

As a defensive back, Sam Madison was really good and knew how to play the position.

David Merritt came to the Chiefs the same year as Sam Madison came in 2019. David was the Secondary Coach with Sam Madison as his assistant. I do not know if it was Sam or David's coaching, but I think Sneed, Ward, and Fenton improved.

Merritt was a LB when he was a player. He was an assistant DB coach with the New York Giants from 2006 through 2016 and the DB coach was Peter Giunta for all but one of those years. David had one year as the DB Coach with the Arizona Cardinals in 2018.

Some of the notable CBs that David Merritt has coached would be Corey Webster, Aaron Ross, Prince Amukamara, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, and Eli Apple.

David helped coach Sam Madison in 2006 and 2007 while with the New York Giants.

Looking around the league most teams have a DB coach and an assistant DB coach.

Will the Chiefs hire an assistant DB coach for next year?
