More coaching news
Lions also lose their defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as he becomes head coach of the Jets
Supposedly Pete Caroll in the mix for the Raiders job
Jaguars are a complete basket case - their top candidate withdrew so now they've fired their General Manager
Cowboys supposedly about to hire Brian Schottenheimer who is a long time NFL assistant coach but not the most inspiring of hire for head coach.
The Jets are where budding HCs go to watch their careers die. Who was the last vaguely successful coach they had? Rex Ryan?

I think on balance its the best sport in the world at the moment.
Especially from December to February.
Compelling viewing on a Saturday and Sunday night.
And to be fair, more often than not the refs and "TMO's" get it right.
Not like football and rugby which are a complete abomination in their current iterations.

It struck me today
The quality of the KC coaching is so much better than any other team in the NFL it isn't close.
Chiefs don't beat themselves.
These other teams come up small when it counts again and again
The Bills have a 250 pound QB and can't run a sneak to save their lives - why? Poor coaching
Spagnuolo runs the perfect blitz on 4th down - why? He's the best D coordinator in the league by a mile.
Bills O Coordinator's 2 point conversion plays were God awful - you would never see Andy Reid run plays like that.
This reminds me a lot of Crusaders under Razor and Mo'unga - they don't beat themselves - and the other team eventually will. Every. Single. Time.
Mahomes is amazing but I didn't think he did much today - the play calling by Reid was sensational - he had guys wide open and those play action boots work every time.
Sirani is not a great coach and is off to his 2nd Super Bowl in 3 years. Shanahan is a conservative choke artist but has a good playoff record. Why? The quality of coaching outside of KC is weak.
And do any of these idiot owners searching for a coach hire Spagnuolo? No.

Spags is a genius

Chiefs have been like this all year tbh. Mahomes has quietly been a bit average but their defence and special teams has pulled them through.
Spags has had a crack at HC and wasn't impressive. Being a great DC (or OC) doesn't mean much in terms of HC success - although successful coordinators often get a second chance so it's a bit surprising he hasn't had a second go. Some coaches do really benefit from having had time to reflect on what went wrong.

Mahomes was very fucking far from average today
