OK this is my pet peeve since everyone else seems to have something to be PO'ed about. Andy turning his back on the D while the offense is off the field. He goes over to pat sits next to him even once caught shooing Kafka his QB coach away. I have been a little bit put off seeing this many times while our D continues to struggle. It looks like he doesn't give a damn bout that side of the ball not to mention how the defensive players feel about it. You the head coach and responsible for everything going on on the field. Its just like Dick Vermeil was and we fielded defenses that produced a no punt game. I realise that Pat is important along with his development but convey it to the person you hired to be QB coach and keep your ass involved in the whole game.
I tried to start the video of what set me off at 3:10 mark of Andy's after game presser. If it starts at beginning just advance to 3:10 to see what I mean.

He did that when Jim Johnson was his defensive coordinator... [Reply]
People that want Andy fired are fucking retards. These guys are grown ass men who get paid to play a game. You are not going to yell at them and make them play better. That is such a stupid fucking concept. [Reply]
Does Mahomes REALLY need Andy that much that he spends his time between drives talking with him. What are they even talking about, Mahomes bails him out despite some atrocious play calls most of the time.
Anyone remember the run on 2nd and 14 last game. There’s many such examples where the drive fizzled out at 3rd and a mile but Mahomes bailed the offense out making off schedule plays.
At this point, I don’t think Mahomes needs an ‘offensive guru’. The chiefs need a defensive coach if they have a shot in hell of winning the Super Bowl within the next two years.
Unpopular opinion but I think the Chiefs would have been better this year with Matt Patricia as head coach. [Reply]
If this defense continues to play this way for the entire season and ends up being worse than last year, then Andy must fire Spags.
Everybody is laying blame at the feet of Brett Veach when they forget that he went out and got Frank Clark because Spags told him he wanted him.
He asked that motherfucker for a grocery list and got his guys.
Don’t care if it’s 1 year. That poor of performance should lead to a firing. Don’t want to hear about a new scheme either. The guys he brought in played in the 4-3, including guys like Hitchens and Ragland who were here before. [Reply]
"Reid made a push for a contract extension this preseason, via his agent Bob LaMonte, and was given the stiff arm by Lurie. Combined with Lurie's comments following last season, that's a sign Reid's license to coach for the foreseeable future is about to expire." Had to much power in Philadelphia, then see ya! [Reply]

It's simply the most efficient and effective use of his time.

I am not sure what happens on a normal Monday-Friday, but this should be first and foremost on Andy's plate this week. Let EB worry about the offense. We don't tackle better and stop the run against Denver, we will be 4-3 come midnight Thursday. [Reply]

That's not what I'm getting at, DUMBASS.
He had JJ as DC, so Reid was able to hand him complete autonomy of the defensive side of the ball and never worry about it, and that was never a problem because Johnson was one of the best DCs in the history of the league who always had the defense playing at a top level.
Since Johnson died, Reid has had Sean McDermott, Juan Castillo, Todd Bowles, Bob Sutton, and Steve Spagnuolo as DC, and defense has been a problem for Reid's teams. [Reply]
