Chiefs could add another defensive assistant with Spagnuolo connection

Steve Spagnuolo is working more of his connections to fill out the Chiefs’ defensive coaching staff.

Patriots defensive line coach Brendan Daly is expected to join the Chiefs in a similar role, according to a report from the Boston Globe.

Spagnuolo first hired Daly as a defensive line coach in 2009 when he was the head coach of the Rams. That time around, Spagnuolo hired Daly, then an assistant with the Vikings, after just a phone interview because he was worried another team would scoop him up. The two worked together from 2009-11.

“He’s a great person,” Daly told The Star of Spagnuolo last week.
