Kansas City Chiefs dealt major blow as key Andy Reid ally drops huge exit hint ahead of NFL playoffs
While the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for the NFL playoffs, Andy Reid and the team may lose a key manager.
While Kansas City is getting ready to play the Denver Broncos in the Week 18 season finale on Sunday, a coach under Reid has given a hint about his future.
Since 2019, Steve Spagnuolo, the defensive coordinator for the Chiefs, has helped the franchise win three Super Bowls.
However, the coordinator said on Thursday that he would like another opportunity to serve as an NFL head coach.
Spagnuolo made a suggestion that he thinks he can be a team leader once more as Kansas City gets ready to play playoff football.
“I’ll take care of that later. Yes, although Denver is the main focus at the moment. When asked if he would ever desire a chance to be a head coach, the 65-year-old said, “I’ll let all of that take care of itself,” according to A to Z Sports.

Spagnuolo’s comments coincide with the expectation that several NFL head coach positions will become available following the season.
There are openings with the Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, and New York Jets.
The New York Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders are two possible head coach destinations that will be watched.
As both teams have had terrible seasons, Brian Daboll of the Giants and Antonio Pierce of the Raiders are under fire.
Mike McCarthy’s contract with the Dallas Cowboys will end nine days after the regular season campaign, creating a head coaching vacancy.
Spagnuolo appears to be unsuccessful as the head coach of the Chiefs.
The 66-year-old Reid signed a five-year contract with Kansas City last year.
From 2009 to 2011, Spagnuolo was the head coach of the St. Louis Rams.
Before being fired, he had a terrible 1-15 season in his first year, went 7-9 in his second, and finished with a 2-14 record in his third and final year.
In 2017, Spagnuolo served as the New York Giants’ temporary head coach.
During that time, his record was 1-3.
As a head coach, Spagunolo had a 10-38 record.
Many starters are anticipated to be rested by the defensive coach and the Chiefs for this weekend’s game in Denver.
