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

Hey man! Not too bad could be better could be worse lol, thanks for asking. How about yourself?

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Care to explain my lack of comprehension on this post?

Maybe it's me but I think you're just a fucking idiot...

The phrasing is correct, but you are the recipient of the $100.00 in both cases.

My mistake.

Those are two examples in which you would win the bet.

Which, incidentally, is exactly what was stated in the original post sans clarifying the partnership of Reid/Hunt or the status of said player as an "undisputed asset".

Etc. Etc. Etc.

If this is the status quo from now until Reid's departure, you will pay ME.

If however this same player is released for one of these non-rape, non-murder incidents in to the wild for zero compensation during the remainder of Andy's tenure, I will pay YOU.

If the same player is released into the wild for no compensation because he picked up a rape or murder charge, NO ONE gets paid because that is the EXCEPTION.

As clearly stated.

Good Lord...Shotguns and rape? The owners wife’s dog? Mrs House is probably on google search looking for homes right now and if she starts digging up what what chiefs fans are like by reading a thread about her husband on chiefsplanet she’s gonna makes him turn the car around and head back to Kentucky

[New World Order]

Perhaps they are this aggressive going for this particular coach because they think it means they won't have to go out into FA overpaying for a starter. They might think a lot of the players just need to be developed and coached up. I can't say one way or the other, but I bet the new coaching staff gets more out of the roster than Sutton did.

God I hope not

We need new blood on defense.

House's eyes are so close together which gives him an advantage focusing. He's like a cyclops but for linebackers instead of sheep.

[RunKC]

Time to recognize this guy and Brendan Daley. These guys have done a terrific job as the year has has gone on. They’ve really hidden some deficiencies at DT and most notably LB.

Reggie Ragland has actually looked like a passable starter at times and Damien Wilson just had his best game here.

The future is bright with these guys. Hope we can keep them under wraps for a few years.

[O.city]

Reggie looks like a really good player. They've found a nice role for him.

And I think it's important that we also take this opportunity to take another shit on Mark DeLeone:

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=13819688&postcount=1434

But here's the thing - that's not generally a DC's job on a day to day basis. I mean sure, there are grandstanding dickbag clowns like Rob Ryan who do shit like that, but you think Wade Phillips is out there chewing glass with his boys?

Attitude and technique isn't really a DC thing - that's a position coach thing.

You've got guys in here saying "well give Britt Reid a shot!". Gents - who the fuck do you think is coaching up that defensive lineman during the week? If you think those guys aren't playing with passion, why does that not fall on the guy who spends the most time working with them? And I just cannot convince myself that the secondaries coaches who have been great for many years suddenly forgot what they're doing.

Now that said - they've got a new ILB coach this season; Mark DeLeone. And yeah, we can go ahead and can that motherfucker. Because these inside linebackers don't know their ass from a hole in the ground and that's the dude that's working with them for hours each week. He's been an assistant LBs coach prior to this season so I have no track record to reach back to with him.

I mean there's a chance that this fucking guy right here:

https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_6_desktop/f_auto/chiefs/pw8behojecuyldb1ao6y.jpg

simply has no idea what it is he's trying to accomplish. When the ILBs are routinely being exposed, that's an issue. Especially when Ragland looks a shitload worse than he looked last season when this guy WASN'T his position coach.

I'd have no qualms at all getting a new voice in here for the ILBs. Those guys need someone to snap them the hell out of it and I don't think it would be too much of a risk to pull the trigger there.

The LBs at least appear to have a plan this season when they didn't last season. That's going to be part scheme (Spags) but even larger part pure coaching (their position coaches).

And there's been clear differences from Ragland, some slight improvement from Hitchens and Wilson's looked damn good. Yes, House deserves credit for that. And DeLeone deserves more scorn.

[KChiefs1]

He’s done wonders for Ragland.

Hitchens needs to be released. I bet Veach could find a scrub off another team that would be better.

Yes and I would add Sam Madison. The secondary has done a nice job with communication and they’ve really come together with new faces everywhere.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the defense is coaching better than the offense this season.

If Andy can figure a way to hide the IOL deficiency and get the offense rolling again, we are going to destroy everybody.

Yes even Baltimore, just like last time.

Hard to come down too hard on Madison when he had Scandrick and a pile of shit in his safety crew.

Not sure what kind of coaching could've fixed those idiots. Scandrick having to be shouted down by Hobo Spirit in week 16 was just the cherry on top of that sunday.

[DJ's left nut]

I'm also "shocked" that it took a few games for all the new (and old) players to understand the scheme and their roles in the scheme. Completely shocking.

Time in the system didn't help them 'learn their roles' at all last season. The defense actually got worse as the season went on.

And so many of the breakdowns last year were so shockingly simple that it can't be chalked up to mere scheme either.

There's just more buy-in from this group of guys. And I think some of that is due to coaching the right attitude and some of it is just not having as many mongoloid retards out there (specifically in the secondary).

Trust/confidence takes time to develop but taking it as an article of faith that it WOULD just by having more time is a fools errand. Oftentimes it just doesn't happen.

Kudos to the coaching staff for encouraging the buy-in. And I wonder if embarrassing themselves for a few games there in the middle of the season didn't make them take a hard look at themselves, especially when combined with the Mahomes injury and a horrifying realization that this could all fall apart on them with a single play.

[DJ's left nut]

This is Madison’s first year here? Think you meant Thomas/Harris.

Correct. My bad - forgot that Madison was the guy we brought in to replace the guys we shipped out.

In either event, I don't think the coaching was the problem with the secondary. I think a bunch of selfish idiots in his defensive backfield - I mean what more do you need to say about Nelson and Scandrick that they haven't said themselves? Parker was complaining before the season even started.

If we'd have brought that same group back, we'd have had the same problems regardless of the coaching switch. I don't know that Thomas/Harris did amazing work last year but I know that there's not a hell of a lot they could've done with that entitled group of washed up malcontents.

[chiefzilla1501]

I still stand by Mike Smith being solid last year. He had out outside LBs who played well. And he's doing really well in green bay. But the rest of the coaches are shit. Pretty unbelievable to have 2 assistant coaches who could easily be nfl DCs in the next few years.

I still think the biggest thing house brings is knowledge of the college game. It gives spags a much more creative gameplan.

Agreed across the board. We had a few Chief Fans who, evidently, thought any improvement should have been immediately noticeable, which is insane given the myriad changes.

But we also had too many folks who just assumed improvement would come.

Reckless pessimism is no less premature than cockeyed optimism. Pointing out that it's too early to judge is fair, but saying that early season concern isn't worth mentioning is also unreasonable.

Sometimes it improves - other times it doesn't. At the halfway point of the season when the team was showing regression in some key areas, it was fair to be worried. But ultimately I think the set-backs helped the team. The adversity they faced was a good thing for them.

And that's where the TYPE of coaching they brought in helps. That's when they had their chance to prove their mettle.

[RealSNR]

Guys. Guys. GUYS.

Britt Reid is the assistant LBs coach. What if he's the true mastermind behind the improvement of these players this season?

[Rasputin]

Better tackling and less whiffing major improvements on the defense.

[loochy]

Better tackling and less whiffing major improvements on the defense.

I've noticed that now opponents generally go backwards when we tackle them. Last year we'd tackle them and they'd always grab an additional 3 yards.

My defense was ranked 29th overall and led by a man with a 1,000 yard stare on game days. I also enjoyed the "services" of two premium, high dollar "impact players" with a lovely case of mailing it in.

This. I would like to see this LB corps with a healthy Gay and one more so we can rid ourselves of Hitchens/Neiman. Plus even slightly competent DLine play would fix a lot of the issues on defense. Bolton looks like what most thought he would be, solid but not elite. I think he's the least of our worries on defense.

Hitchens has been better than his first season.

[JPH83]

I'm pretty optimistic about Gay and his ablity in coverage, and what that might allow us to do with Bolton. But the unit has been atrocious across the board so far and there is no way that can be entirely blamed on the DL imo. Hitchens looks lost and completly unable to diagnose plays. Really odd.
