Spags to the Chiefs:

 

 

The Kansas City Chiefs spent just two days without a defensive coordinator.

Just over 50 hours after firing Bob Sutton in the wake of its AFC Championship Game defeat, Kansas City announced it hired Steve Spagnuolo as its next defensive coordinator.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo first reported the news.

Spagnuolo spent 2018 out of football after serving three years with the New York Giants as defensive coordinator and interim head coach. Among the highlights on Spags' lengthy resume: Giantsdefensive coordinator (2007-08), Rams head coach (2009-11) and Saints defensive coordinator (2012).

The 59-year-old coach also previously coached defensive backs and linebackers under Chiefs coach Andy Reid in Philadelphia from 1999 to 2006.

In Kansas City, Spagnuolo inherits one of the league's worst defenses statisically. The Chiefs finished 31st in yards per game (405.5) and passing YPG (273.4), 27th in rushing YPG (132.1) and 24th in points allowed per game (26.3) and 26th in Football Outsiders' Defensive DVOA. Kansas City boasts a ferocious pass rush with Justin Houston, Chris Jones and free agent-to-be Dee Ford leading the charge, but is lacking in the secondary.

Spags' Giants defenses from 2015 to 2017 experienced one stellar season in 2016, when it allowed the second-fewest points in the league and propelled Big Blue to the playoffs, and two underwhelming campaigns in which they ranked 32nd in yards allowed per game in 2015 and 31st in 2017.

Spags was great for us... it didn't help he had shit in terms of talent.

 

Spagsuace defensive rankings his last 7 years;

 

29,19,22,32,32,10,31

 

Average of 25th ranked defence across three different teams with multiple levels of talent.

 

He didnt have "shit talent", he's a shit coordinator without having one of the best DEs in the NFL on his team.

 

In 2012 the Saints had the worst defense in the NFL with him at the helm, in 2013 after he was fired and replaced with Rob Ryan, they were top 5 in the NFL.

 

I'm glad he struck his magic with the Giants and ONLY the Giants, but he isnt a good defensive coordinator by any means.

Humans tend to get better with experience... Spags deserves an opportunity.
