Matt House leaving for Chiefs; early favorite for his replacement emerges

Defensive coordinator Matt House is leaving the Kentucky Wildcats after all to join the Kansas City Chiefs.

Matt Jones of KSR was the first to report that Kentucky and house have reached an agreement to leave the school and become the linebackers coach in Kansas City.

Justin Rowland of Cats Illustrated said the Chiefs made a second run at House on Monday, which ultimately led to the Chiefs getting House. It also looks like Kentucky has found his replacement:

KC coach Andy Reid came back to House indicating he was willing to pay the buyout.
