Then he went to STL and failed pretty badly. And as an interim HC, he still failed pretty badly. But when he went back to DC in NO, they recovered nicely and finished the year much better.
Yeah, he got ripped by a NOLA player recently, but players are idiots and someone's always bitching.
I think Spags would be a really nice fit as a DC here.
If you want the next Jim Johnson, Spags is as close as they come.

You're probably right. I'd be open to Spags. But, I also think the Chiefs need more talent on defense.
He is probably closest to Jim Johnson because he is his disciple and learned a lot under him.
I'll admit as much as Johnson's defenses were successful, he also had the players. He was stacked with talent. All of those guys like Lito Sheppard, Troy Vincent, Bobby Taylor, Hugh Douglas, Corey Simon, Brian Dawkins, Jeremiah Trotter were great players.
I don't know if the chiefs can match that talent.
