Enough already! What's the deal with Sutton?

They've put off end of year press conferences and haven't even formally introduced Bieniemy even though he's been announced as a hire. Likely scenario they don't want a press conference because they don't want to formally confirm or deny rumors.

I think the Chiefs are waiting on 2 guys. And if they can get 1 of them, they'll fire Sutton. If not, they'll keep him. Spagnuolo has an obvious Reid connection and is gunning for the NY Giants coaching job (maybe most plausible because he's run his scheme from 3-4). The other is Adam Zimmer who has a strong connection through Gary Gibbs. The Chiefs out of respect are probably keeping their distance until Minnesota's season is over.

Why would the Chiefs hold a press conference to announce they aren’t firing someone?

It doesn't have to be a press conference. A simple statement. They're no doubt being reached out to for comment and obviously have said nothing.

The Chiefs also aren't going to release a statement that they aren't fining someone either. Come on, dude. The closest thing you'll get is perhaps Andy addressing it if he's asked directly, "Will Bob Sutton be the DC here next year." Even then, he'd probably respond with something like, "Listen, we are constantly reviewing the roster and the coaches. We've got to do better and that starts with me. That's how we roll."

I think they're growing concerned that for the last 5-10 years we've been able to give their bullshit speech better, and faster, than they can.

Again, the Clarks just go back the the never-ending well of of strategery that dictates that they circle the wagons, hunker down in the hole, plan for a change or two, then hibernate until the draft. They've even gone as far as adding no-snore strips to this annual sleep cycle.

In the end the Clarks know they've been able to rely on the good hearts of the great people of Kansas City for forgive the previous year's, and now 48 years, of not getting it done.

Again, they don't have to release a statement. Reid, veach, hunt everybody in that damn organization is getting peppered by the media asking if Suttons job is safe. One person has to answer a simple question. If Suttons job was entirely safe, why wouldn't the Chiefs defend him? Reid is a loyal guy. And wouldn't he be worried about someone like al harris would be worried about his job, and might join another staff? It sounds to me like the Chiefs org intentionally told the entire organization to say nothing to the press. That seems pretty unusual to me. All it takes is one answer to a simple question to shut up all the rumors, mostly bad.

OK. They don't care about rumors. They care about empty stadiums.

For the record, I'm for a DC change, if there's a better option.
