Time to play "Where are they now?"
Kris Richard Steve Wilks Rex Ryan Not on this list: Steve Spagnuolo, the defensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, who has helped the team go to back-to-back Super Bowls. He was hired over the previous three names mentioned. |

It is a little odd that literally no one talks about Spags in terms of a possible HC shot. They barely give him credit for the job he's done with KC. Part of me is glad of that, but it does seem a little strange.

That was nearly 10 years ago. You think he hasn't learned anything since then? That people might change over a decade? he ha a proven track record for taking defenses that were wallowing in the bottom tier and turning them into top tier units, so we know he can coach. His players seem to love him in KC, so he appears to be a player's coach. And now he has two SB rings.
How he fared in STL, after hiring Pat Shurmur, who left for CLE, and then was saddled with Josh McDaniels at OC, shouldn't really be a factor in 2021 and beyond.

I think Spags would probably be successful if given another head coaching opportunity with a decent QB situation. Fortunately I think the NFL has completely moved on.

So owners are just really stupid? Kind of makes sense, I guess. Explains the Jets. And WAS until they finally hired Rivera.

Reid traded one friend for another. Good ol boy network wasnt something anyone wanted. We had seen enoug with Vermiel/Robinson, and then TWO historic playoff collapses of 28 and 18 point leads out of Reid/Sutton. He made the right call, but most battered Chiefs fans were not loving this news.

DCing is a hard job. In any season and at any time you can get totally and utterly ****ed. Injuries. Players who have off years. And let's also not forget just being a defensive coordinator for a team without much talent on it at all. Somebody's gotta do it. What else are you going to do? Not take a job you want? Spags was on some shitty teams. Some shitty shitty shitty teams. And his defenses ended up being very shitty. And that's all people wanted to look at. People thought every other DC out there could make chicken salad out of chicken shit, and that ain't necessarily so. Those DCs are very rare. |
