On Sunday, the ' season ended because their defense couldn't find a way to stop the in the fourth quarter and overtime. On Tuesday, the Chiefs responded to their defense's failure to get off the field by dismi sing their defensive coordinator. Bob Sutton, the Chiefs' defensive coordinator since 2013, . More on the NFL "Bob is a good football coach and a great person. He played an integral role in the DeForest Buckner Jersey succe s of our team over the last six seasons," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said in a statement. "I've said before that change can be a good thing, for both parties, and I believe that is the case here for the Chiefs and Bob. This was not an easy decision, but one I feel is in the best interest of the Kansas City Chiefs moving forward." For the first time since Reid took the Chiefs job, they'll have a defensive coordinator not Nick Bosa Jersey named Bob Sutton. So, who could replace him? Glad you asked. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, former and head coach Rex Ryan, who built his reputation as a defensive mastermind with the vaunted ' defenses of the 2000s, could be in play. Heres a name to watch for the now vacant Chiefs DC job, per sources: former Jets and Bills HC and current ESPN analyst Rex Ryan, who has been approached about other DC openings in recent seasons. Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) Whoever does eventually get the job will be inheriting a me s. It wasn't just Sunday that the Chiefs' defense struggled. It'd been a struggle all season long. The Chiefs finished the season ranked 31st in yards allowed, 24th in points allowed, and While they played surprisingly well against the in the divisional round, they failed Deion Sanders Jersey to produce the single stop needed late during their lo s to the Patriots on Sunday.The Chiefs gave up 37 points, 36 first downs, and 524 yards of offense to the Patriots. Despite their defense's shortcomings, Mahomes brought the Chiefs back from a 14-0 deficit and gave his defense two fourth-quarter leads to work with, both of which the defense failed to protect. In overtime, the Chiefs' defense never let Mahomes touch the ball, because they failed to keep the Patriots out of the end zone, falling woefully short on three third-and-10s that Brady converted. That's why Sutton lost his job. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport provided more context: Over the course of the past few days, the have talked with players and coaches about defensive coordinator Bob Sutton, whose lack of adjustments has been a non-stop frustration Mitch Wishnowsky Jersey . They moved on today, and a prime job is open. Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) The thing is, the Chiefs' defense does have some appealing pieces like , , , , and . For all of their faults, they did rank tied for first in sacks and tied for eighth in takeaways. It's not impo sible to imagine the right coach turning this Chiefs defense into a respectable unit. The other thing is, the Chiefs don't need an elite defense to get over the Super Bowl hump. They only need to provide Mahomes with a decent defense, the kind of defense that can get one dang stop Jimmie Ward Jersey in a crucial situation, the kind of defense that doesn't put Mahomes in a position where he has to play perfect football in order to beat top-caliber teams. In the Chiefs' five lo ses this season, they scored 36.2 points per game, but allowed 40.2 points per game. _________________ John Short, Jr |
