Chiefs hire Steve Spagnuolo as new defensive coordinator

[TLO]

The #Chiefs are hiring Steve Spagnuolo as their new defensive coordinator, sources say. The former #Giants DC and interim HC/#Rams HC began his NFL coaching career as an #Eagles assistant under Andy Reid. Now rejoins Big Red in KC.

He sure was worth a lot in the AFCCG. The only thing he did that shows up in the box score is line up offsides.

In his defense you just said he's had one good year and that year was last year. You haven't given him the chance to be consistent yet.

There's nothing about Dee Ford that is even remotely consistent.

Shut up parker.

We're trying to sell a used pass rusher here

I expect him to throw 35 TDs next season with defensive improvements. That's still going to likely be best in the league or close to it. It just won't be 50.

I expect 40 TD’s out of him with 5000 yards in 2019.

How many chances should we give him? He's 28 years old and hasn't ever been even slightly consistent. Maybe 30? 35?

And in the interest of full disclosure, by me saying these things, I'm admitting I was wrong about Dee Ford.

I was a big fan of the pick and defended him for a couple of years (before I stepped away from CP for a bit).

I was wrong about Dee Ford. He's not dependable. He's had too many injuries. The Chiefs need people they can count on week in and week out. That's not Dee Ford.

Yeah but you do see the logic failure in saying this was his first good year and he's not consistent, right? Because that is making my head hurt.

There is no logic failure.

He's 28 years old. He played 5 years of college ball (due to medical redshirt, of course) and 5 years of NFL ball.

He's never been consistent. He's had PLENTY of chances to demonstrate it and he's never done it.

If he was a rookie or 2nd year player, you'd have a point. He's not. He's closing in on 30 and a near decade of nothing but injuries and inconsistency.

And for what was spent on him, last years output should have been year two output, no injuries.

But since it's a "100% injury-guaranteed league", we'll just forget about all of that and give him a fat extension next year, amirite?!?!?

But buehler totally ****ed me the same way and we text multiple times a week.


**** him and Timbone too

Sigh. If this was his 'first good year' (which I disagree with) then he has not had a chance to prove he can be consistently good. If he goes to Indianapolis, for instance, and gets 18 sacks in their new 4-3 everyone here is going to kick themselves for letting him get away.
