To me, Sutton has always been a sound defensive coach. Hes just not a risk-taker IMO.
When he was with the Jets, they were loaded with LBs who can cover and play the run and had shut down CBs (Revis, Cromartie). He gave us major problems.
If you guys think hes time has passed, Im not in a position to debate. Hes up there in age. Maybe hes lost whatever creativity he has left?

With the personnel we have no one will confuse our defense with the 85 Bears, 00 Ravens, etc. We do have enough talent there however that if we had even a decent DC we would not have had a historically bad defense. Pretty much every game the Chiefs lost this year was due to the defense’s inability to stop the other team. Even some of the wins were a product of them just scoring enough in shootouts that even the defense couldn’t screw it up. This team had way too many penalties this year on defense and that’s a result of discipline and it falls on the shoulders of the DC. Sutton is a major problem and his time has passed. Pretty sure if he is fired no team will hire him as their DC.
