When should Spags be fired?

It can always get worse.

Frank Clark has been a disaster. And we did little to improve our LB corp. The writing was on the wall that this was not going to get this much better, especially for the run defense. It's hard for me to hate on Spags too much due to our personnel short comings.

With that said, we need to trade for a shut down corner so we can be more aggressive shutting down the run as needed. I still like our defense better than last year because it at least seems we are slightly better against the pass, but we are still penalty prone.

Ford was not worth the money he was going to cost; he's often injured.

Houston would've cost $22 million to keep and wasn't interested in restructuring.

The Clark deal hasn't worked out, it's true, but letting those two go was not stupid under the cirumstances.

Sometimes you have to pay guys a little more for their leadership skills.
Who are KC's defensive leaders?

Did you see the video footage of the Colts locker room after the Chiefs game? Those guys love Houston. I was surprised to see how happy they were for him. He's obviously a well liked and respected player. I don't know if the Chirfs have any leaders.

Of course the Colts love his locker room presence. He got the contract he wanted.

Players show leadership when they WANT to show leadership - see 2016-2018 Justin Houston.

Keeping him would have been stupid, he didn't want to be here.

Yep. Where was his leadership last year? We had a team that was one game from the superbowl. If he couldn't be the leader then, what would make him change now?
