The hire of a new defensive coordinator in the NFL is often followed by changes on the defensive coaching staff, and that appears to be happening with the Chiefs.
Two weeks after Chiefs coach Andy Reid named Steve Spagnuolo to replace Bob Sutton in the defensive coordinator’s role, reports have surfaced about other coaching changes on the horizon.
Citing unnamed sources, ESPN’s Field Yates on Thursday reported that David Merritt, who coached the defensive backs for the Arizona Cardinals last season, will be hired by the Chiefs.
Yates reported Friday that Matt House, the University of Kentucky’s defensive coordinator, will join Reid’s staff, too.
