I don't think Andy planned to fire Sutton, I think Clark finally forced his hand.
In any event, if the rumors were true about Bob's "retirement plan", then the Chiefs would have been secretly hunting and making calls as soon as 4 weeks ago as a sort of "contingency plan" if and when the Chiefs lost the AFCCG.
They couldn't actively hold interviews for the position, as that is a bad look for any prospects they might have been interested in, but you can absolutely go under the radar, make some calls, explain the situation, and agree to meet should the outcome of the AFCCG go south.
I'd love to see them announce one of the hot property college coaches with a defensive pedigree, but I'm almost certain were going to be looking at Mike Smith unless Andy and Veach put something in to motion going all the way back to the beginning of the season. And by that I mean, they gave Sutton the reprieve under the condition that things had to improve with the understanding that if they did not, that Veach and Reid were going to have someone picked out well before the season ended, and recruited from outside the organization.
We'll see. I'm glad Sutton's gone, but I want a scheme change as well.
