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.

And if you watched, you’d notice hitch was trying to read things before reacting. It made him look slow but really he was taking a second to read what he needed to do.

Agreed. Pagano has had virtually zero success in this league.

Ryan is actually more risky because he and Reid are like oil and water as personalities and his defense is outdated these days.

Except the risk that his defense is no longer relevant in the NFL and that he'd be unwilling to change it.

Shawn Barber was talking about it today I think. He was a coaching intern with the Chiefs and said Sutton's scheme wasn't simple.

How can you throw his name in there and then shit on Spagnuolo or other veteran DCs. Pagano didnt exactly set the world on fire with his SD defenses.

Exactly. This guy is a ****ing idiot and always has been.

To call Spags an “atrocious” hire when the best you got is John ****ing Pagano?

Rex has also been in the media for a couple years

I doubt he’s really up on the league as he would need to be

The risk with Rex is his personality. Wouldn’t have meshed with how reid wants his team handled. Especially in the media.

Yeah, Rex could be either really good or it could be a completely combustible situation and could totally lose a locker room.

O.city · 01-24-2019, 10:48 PM

I still would have liked Ray Horton

I think that may have been the biggest issue, sometimes the best defensive just man up and play hard and fast.

The Chiefs look like a team that thinks way to much on that side.

BryanBusby · 01-24-2019, 10:49 PM

Sutton's system was pretty complex and I really doubt he was working all that hard to teach it to the younger guys, which is why he always stuck with his old vets even if they sucked out loud.

I think Hewitt would have been my top choice, along with bringing in someone like Dick LeBeau to be a senior advisor till he got established. Oh well.

pugsnotdrugs19 · 01-24-2019, 10:49 PM

Rex definitely looked like a boom or bust hire on the surface. Like SB champs or **** everything up type of hire.

And I think that will be the biggest immediate difference. Less thinking and just getting back to playing ball.

Spags has at east proven that if you give him the talent, he can produce a SB caliber defense.

What in the ****ing bloody hell has John Pagano EVER proven?

I’m convinced this dumbass thinks he’s talking about Chuck.
