How can we say he sucks at his job objectively? Take emotion out of it and look at the results.
5 years, top 10 in points allowed 4 of those 5 years. Top 5 in points allowed in 3 of 5 years - top THREE 2 of those.
There's absolutely no evidence to show that Sutton is bad at his job. In fact, he's the most consistently successful defensive coordinator in CHIEFS NFL HISTORY.
The last time the defense was that good for that long, the Chiefs were in the AFL and the defense was stocked with hall of famers at every level.
You can only parrot "playoff collapse" so many times without ever mentioning Andy Reid or Alex Smith or the fact that in both of those collapses, one or two more 1st downs by the offense would have won the game. You also cannot throw out the fact that he took a team that was QB'ed by Mark freaking Sanchez to two AFC Championship games.
This defense needs talent. End of story. Changing coordinators is a fool's errand. A scapegoat. A pablum for the masses.
