Ken Flajole is likely to do much more than coach Chiefs outside linebackers

Since new Kansas City Chiefs outside linebackers coach Ken Flajole came to town in order to replace Britt Reid — who left the team under tragic circumstances just before the Super Bowl — little attention has been given to his hiring.

“I was with him for a long time at the college level — and then he was with Spags at the college level for a stop and in the NFL,” Reid said of his new assistant.
