If Reid refuses to fire Sutton...
 

Should Clark fire Reid?

Obviously he wouldn’t, but should he?

Promote Toub to HC and let Bienemy run the offense?

Promote Bienemy to HC and let Kafka run the offense and keep Toub as ST?

Or let Andy keep Bob and likely repeat this same fate?

Hopefully Sutton is gone and this doesnt matter

If Andy Reid won't fire Sutton then he is a complete moron.

Non-Story

Bob's going to retire. Walk away. Announcement next week.

Reid is here to stay, his job is safe.

Sutton will be fired or he’ll resign.

Sutton better be gone! But then who do we choose to be DC?

My 6 year old daughter is available and would be an upgrade.

If this shit was decided in the regular season why wait a week?

Reid’s not going anywhere unless he wants to retire.

As Inmen and Hooversaid, Sutton’s gone and will retire.

Some of you are way more confident than I am about this.

Reid has a history of refusing to fire bad assistants.

That's the downside to making this far. All the top defensive coordinators are gone. My fear is thud promote from within. We don't need a Sutton desciple

Steve Spagunolo maybe? Was out of football this year. Spent several years with Reid in Philadelphia. Runs a 4-3

Agreed 100%. They need a fresh start on defense with new blood.

A rotting dead corpse would be equal to the current keeper of the Chiefs DC position.

He has no ****ing balls, no ****ing clue and no ****ing business being a DC in the NFL.

You can fire the D-Coordinator. Doesn't change the fact that Andy Reid will always have his defense on the field gassed because he doesn't know how to ball control effectively He just believes in scoring as much as you can. But that's not a predictable variable. Offensive minded coaches sometimes neglect the defense. Just as defensive minded coaches sometimes neglect the offense. Look at Rex Ryan, look at Pete Carroll(who under utilizes a great QB in Wilson), then look at Chip Kelly(fail), Andy Reid (has never had a grind it out running game). Look at Peyton Manning for years, there's a reason he was called the regular season champ. Ironically both of his Super Bowl wins came FROM a running game with him not doing much.

Plenty of other examples but the point still stands. Ball control, balance, and toughness is what championships are about. Too many little kids watching games and whining thinking this is Fantasy football

This. I 100% expect Sutton to be back.

I’d lay money that it’s someone we already have.

Coaches coach and players play. The coaching and execution was lacking. I would like a head coach that at least appears as interested in the defense as the offense. IMO, Reid is an excellent offensive coordinator and an average at best head coach. Not having either side of the ball ready for what the Patriots did to the Chargers is on the head coach.

Oh, I'm sure Bob Sutton will be guiding this Chiefs D as long as Andy is here. Hell, Bob may do it from the grave......because Chiefs.

A cardboard cutout of Dick Butkus would be better than the geriatric moron we're paying now.

ROFL

hey now I resent that

Clark should just fire Bob

Fire this guy today on no waiting now

I will find Sutton and force feed him a turd if he doesn't leave this team alone and open the door for Romo to become our DC.

Because the Chiefs are a "classy" organization, Archie! Are you seriously asking this question? When have the Clark's EVER been cutthroat?

The Chiefs are a lot like the old US/Soviet relations prior to Reagan. We are the "detente" of the NFL. We do not besmirch good names in the name of winning at all costs; only HEATHENS would do such a thing!

I mean ****; isn't ANYONE the least bit curious as to how Belicheat would have handled the Hunt affair? I sure as **** am.

You get Rex Ryan, that way defense doesn't change but the guy calling the plays does.

The Scheme isn't the problem we have seen it be amazing for us before. The players are a slight issue.

What the real problem is, is ADJUSTING the scheme to the game was it is being played out.

Rex Ryan has beat the Patriots with a shitter offense in the playoffs in Toms House.

Sure, we don't have a Revis. But the Patriots WR's were not killing us from the outside.

He always came off as wayyyy more aggressive than Sutton as well...something I think we're sorely lacking.

He is, and he never had Pass Rushers like he has here.

Rex Ryan designed the defense Bob is running, he was good at adjusting during games in NYJ and in BAL.

He designed exotic blitzs all the time, that from 09-11' really ****ed with the Patriots.

I wouldn't be against the Rex Ryan idea. I'd prefer more of an attacking style though. Bend but don't break isn't the answer.. who cares if you break once in awhile is the upside is killing the QB and stopping the run.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but a Gunther style defense..

Why is it that some coaches seem to be able to make chicken salad out of chicken shit and other coaches can't seem to get a group of highly paid athletes to make a stop or pick up a blitz or get open against single coverage?

At this point I trust your daughter more than I trust Andy Reid. :)

Look to the college ranks for a DC?

Reid should fire Bob Sutton but he won’t. I fully expect him back next season because 28 other NFL teams would’ve gladly traded their season for ours. Reid will say that the defense did enough to put us in a situation to win. And if not for a play here or a play there, they did.

I’m also on the Rex Ryan bandwagon. That guy can coach a defense and wouldn’t require everyone to learn everything from scratch.

no more retreads. plus, Rex is a huge ego. we don't need that sort of drama. And also-it's the same scheme, we need change not more of the same.

I doubt Rex is leaving his ESPN job for a coordinator job

Is this just your guess or do you have some inside info?

Yeah, not on the Rex Ryan train. Take a look at what Mario Williams said. Same stuff we bitch about. Not aggressive at all with pressure. And that's considering Ryan took over a very similar scheme as pettine. If we're staying a similar scheme I don't love or hate the idea of Mike Smith but injecting new blood into our assistants.

And 2 of the 3 times he faced Tom Brady while with the Bills, he gave up 40+.

Reason I might be open to Mike Smith... He seems insistent on coaching fundamentals over and over. And relentless film study to exploit matchups. A full year with him and id bet our defense would be playing aggressive as hell which is a big part of the battle. I don't know how he'd do with scheme. But coaching up our players is a huge upgrade for us. Again... Don't really love it or hate it.
