It was a long time coming (we knew the Kansas City Chiefs had hired him nearly a month ago), but defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo held his first teleconference on Wednesday.
Here were five things I took away from the call:
1. Spagnuolo already seems like a standup, likable guy.
It is not something that is expected—when NFL coaches win, they can act however they please—but during his very first media opportunity in Kansas City, Spagnuolo seemed like a standup guy. He opened the call by poking some fun at Chiefs communications VP Ted Crews, then by thanking the Hunt family for the opportunity:
“I just want to say I appreciate your time [Wednesday],” he said.
