KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The on and off story of Matt House leaving the University of Kentucky as defensive coordinator and joining the Chiefs as linebackers coach has reached a conclusion, with House poised to join the Chiefs after all, a source indicated.
The Chiefs had been close to hiring House last week but the deal stalled when the sides couldn't agree on a buyout of House's Kentucky contract.
The Courier Journal, citing terms of House's contract, reported that he would have to pay Kentucky $150,000 to buy out the final year of his deal.
