Chiefs to hire Matt House as LB coach [no, really - they actually are this time]

I doubt anyone expects Spags to stay more than two seasons, and I expect Andy hired him because they both need each other and they both know that Spags will get another shot at a HC job if he can help get the Chiefs a Super Bowl ring. House has put himself in the perfect place. Andy is apparently a king maker and helps his staff go out and flourish. House will be the next DC up after Spags leaves. House will be a DC for a few seasons before he may go try and be a HC as well, or he may flame out and suck as a DC, but he will have learned. This is a perfect marriage.

edit: ****. I'm stoked for this guy to coach Jones (and everybody else).

Yep. This crossed my mind as well, and it is a great situation for both the Chiefs and House.
