He did it again with the Giants a few years later, and then did it again with the Chiefs.

He's the only DC in NFL history to win a Ring with two separate teams.

Comparing him to Sutton is a hilariously bad take, especially when you look at Sutton's inability to even evaluate the players he had and didn't play while he was with the Chiefs. Sutton's defenses were only good when he had All-Pros all over the field. Spags has consistently been able to field good defenses with mostly nobodies.

But like I said, Chief Fans generally aren't terribly discerning.
Ah yes...let's condescend all KC fans because your opinion differs from a few. Who are you even arguing with? Not that many people are calling for Spags' job, and the post about Sutton was just a fact. You can discern fact from opinion, right?

But while we're talking about Sutton, does he get any credit for taking over a defense that was near the bottom in points allowed and immediately producing a top 5 scoring defense? And keeping them top 5ish for four years straight? He was top 10 in scoring defense in 5 of 9 seasons as a DC. Saying that he can't be compared to Spags is your opinion, and not necessarily one with a lot of facts to support it.

Your comparisons are far from objective. You highlight every positive achievement of Spags and ignore the bad. He's had plenty of unimpressive seasons, especially if you factor in his years as head coach.

I was fully in favor of ditching Sutton, but we don't have to pretend like his replacement is above criticism.
