Former St. Louis Rams and New York Giants head coach Steve Spagnuolo has emerged as the favorite to replace Bob Sutton as the Chiefs' defensive coordinator, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Spagnuolo, 59, and Andy Reid worked together in Philadelphia, share the same agent and have a mutual respect for each other's work.
Spagnuolo was with the Eagles from 1999 to 2006 as a defensive assistant, defensive backs and linebackers coach before becoming the Giants' defensive coordinator from 2007-08.
He became the Rams' head coach in 2009 but was fired after the 2011 season, finishing with a 10-38 record.
