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.

Sure.
But let's call this what it is: Reid bringing someone he knows in. Someone whose most recent performances led to bottom ranked defenses. To fix a defense already ranked at the bottom. This is not a great situation on that side of the ball.
This looks like every single defensive hire the Chiefs have made for the last 15 years. Head coaches hiring buddies with sketchy records. Over and over. . We all know what that's gotten us. But this time! This time will work!
Maybe eventually they'll try something else. Like, you know, how they drafted a QB finally.
Course, half the board hated that at the time because it was risky. Nobody seems to remember that now. Same reason people like this hire. Somehow it's safe. At least that's how the rationalization goes.
News flash: it's not safe.
Doesn't mean it can't work But it would be bucking the odds [Reply]
I'd rather we give up a long touchdown then watch a team complete 5 yard passes all the way down the field at least it would give our offense more chances [Reply]

If he hurt the performance of his current team by selecting players that fit next season's scheme he should be kicked in his nards.
Did you watch the games? If so you saw him talking to mahomes on the bench while the defense was on the field. Also had a first year coordinator he was coaching up. Just to clue you in, Reid has always let the DC do his own thing so he can worry about the offense. I’d say it worked out pretty ****ing well besides ford lining up offsides. [Reply]
:-):-):-):-)
Well here's to another 4 years of a crap defense. His record as a DC is terrible. The last 6 years he had only one very good year. As a head coach, he was worse. [Reply]

When other teams would have been going for a cutting edge elite coach, we are going to a guy that gives Andy someone to go out a have dinner with after practice.
alright, shake it off. Lose the negative attitude.
We are going to be ok
We are going to be ok

The Chiefs would love to cut him but they don't have to. If a team wants him, and a pro bowler entering his peak will no doubt be hot trade bait, they're not going to let a measly pick stand in their way. Worst case, the Chiefs can cut him and take a high comp pick. We'll get something for Ford. It's hard to believe they'll just outright cut him. [Reply]

Like I said in an earlier post, venables would’ve been the home run hire. But you’re just looking on the surface. Spag was a shit HC and had terrible defenses on that team, then had the saints when Sean Payton was suspended for the season bc of a targeting scandal. He wasn’t brought in to be a HC and will have way less responsibilities than he did in St. Louis. Those seasons stats you might as well throw out bc not many ppl would’ve succeeded in those situations.
Before that he won two super bowls against brady. Only person to beat them twice. This hire isn’t as good as some ppl think but it’s not nearly as bad as you think. [Reply]
