There are all sorts of different setups that have been used in this league in regards to coaching personnel and where they are at any given time during the course of a game. And there's no right way to do it if you're doing it successfully.
Andy is the head coach AND O-coord in this setup regardless of what the Chiefs payroll may say. It is what it is. Is he supposed to spend his game time overseeing the defense and possibly dictating to the D-Coord what types of plays should be run? I would hope not. That's not what Andy is good at.
He does however have a responsibility to make sure that the D-coord is doing his job well and producing positive results. He is responsible for making sure that the scouts and GM know what kind of players are needed for all three phases of the game. And if his defense is sucking out loud, it's his responsibility to find out why and to make the steps necessary to correct it. And it is definitely in Reid's best interest to get this current situation corrected if he hopes to do more than be a regular season warrior. [Reply]
Basically Andy needs to hire a defensive coach that can run a defense by himself...so essentially a coordinator with legit NFL head coaching experience and preferably one that is young enough to still have fire and hunger.
In all honesty there aren't really that many guys out there that fit that bill. [Reply]

NE not only follows Kelce with man coverage, shifts the pass rusher to chip him, but then inside-outside brackets him. Literally left zero chance that the Chiefs were going to win with Kelce in the RZ (or most of the game) pic.twitter.com/Upxrbk8QS8
KC runs straight forward C1 man with no attempt at disguising. Not only that, they put the newest addition, Josh Shaw, in man coverage on Gronk on an island while Lucas plays man on a RB and Parker sits CF. Brady IDs this immediately, no adjustment just "go press Gronk kid". pic.twitter.com/oVAnivjhR3
That is evidence of a man with no passion for his craft. I say that because the only other explanation for such nonsense would be a major lack of intelligence. [Reply]

Let's check in on how each defensive mind thinks:

You wouldn't be required to participate, so calm down.
Enjoy Sutton and our defense pal, you've earned it. [Reply]
Andy's downfall is loyalty. Sutton should have been canned last year for sure. Nobody wanted him back. His plans are just plain stupid and don't make sense. [Reply]
