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.

Shannon Sharp on draft night his assessment of CEH was he's small. He's a role player, not an every down back. At this point I find myself agreeing with him.

It's up to Clyde to prove everybody wrong. No question he has a big chip on his shoulder now. Lookout Chargers.

If this defense is still AIDS in November then I'll be worried.

I'm actually far angrier about the offense not putting the game away with an 11 point lead.

The defense has flaws that I trust spags to adjust to. There's zero reason the offense shouldn't have stepped on Baltimore's throat in the 2nd half and ended the game early.

Wait until the Chargers hang 40 on us, and then let us know if you still feel the same way.

35 points should’ve been more than enough to bury that MASH unit

The issue here definitely isn’t offense

Ingram would have been nice tho

We have a good safety 32 , but I mean...ok... and a couple of good DLineman one of which we paid like 100 million for and should be better and not going to jail etc.

I dont think there is a coach in the league who could design a defense for zero LB's and Zero db's.

We do have players. Chris Jones, Tyrann Mathieu, L'Jarius Sneed isn't anything to shake a stick at. You're asking that we don't have the perfect scenario at every position. Knock knock, nobody does. Every team has players that aren't the match they want them to be. Again, every team has their Ben Neimann, Anthony Hitchens or Charvarius Ward looking lost and dumb. Good coaching can overcome that to a degree.

But these guys, especially on the DL where it is beginning to look like the effort is just plain poor. They don't even seem to be pissed at themselves their lack of success. Where is the leader of the defense? Who is over there on the defense showing these results in real time are unacceptable? I see no passion but a lot of check cashing. They have been pushed around like rag dolls despite a couple series. Until it gets fixed with the players we have now. Teams will be scoring 30-40 on us each week.

Yep. Herbert is kicking his chops.

Spags has lost control of his guys. Complete embarrassment on national television.

The Jones at DE experiment is a complete failure. We are weak up the middle now and Jones is leaving open running lanes.

The guys up front can't handle basic Pee Wee football blocking schemes.

4TH AND SPAGS

What's the NFL record for 4th down conversions given up?

He gotta go

[493rd]

We’re 1-2 and have the worst defense in football and it’s not close. But Andy is a stubborn **** so who cares. Nothing will change.

[Megatron96]

Must've watched a different game. Thought Spags was the DC. Didn't KC's D generate 5 stops? 5/9=56%. More than enough to win any game against any opponent.

Oh, did Spags fumble the ball twice and throw those two INTs? I thought that was the offense.

[Wisconsin_Chief]

With the leash Sutton had without ever winning anything, I can’t imagine Spags has any reason to worry. He won a Super Bowl so he’s not going anywhere unless he chooses to.

Sad but true. We’re stuck with his useless ass.
