Similar to Sutton's improvement when he joined the chiefs. I will say Spags is A LOT better in the postseason which is what matters.
And, you need to check your numbers on the Rams. They got worse after Spags joined.

Meh, I'm over it really. But as to the Rams, i believe they got worse, then they got better, It took two seasons. Then it fell off, but he was trying to be HC by then, so probably wasn't really on top of everything on defense at that point.
Also, it's convenient for people to point out how stacked those Giant defenses wre with All-Pros and future HOFers, but how else can you build a top-tier defense? You need players. But he didnt have a ton of them in STL, or when he came to KC, but he still managed to improve their performance, and yet no acknowledgement from the fans. Never saw Sutton do that. His defense only worked when it was stacked from top to bottom with top-tier players at every level. When he didn't have a prime EB, Houston, etc., his defenses were bad. And situationally they were predictable. And bad.
But it's a moot point. For me, anyway. CP is the most negative Chiefs group I've ever been around. Not to say that there aren't positive CPers, but there's a ton of negative Nancys as well. CP is going to CP. I have a more optimistic perspective in life, so whatever. We could use two more quality DLs and the defense would be a top third unit for as long as we could keep t together under Spags. It's just always going to be hard to get those two guys.
