Good references are vital in the job search, but if Steve Spagnuolo really is on the hunt for a head coaching role, a lack of glowing recommendations won't be the problem.
Spagnuolo, who has served as the Kansas City Chiefs' defensive coordinator since 2019, has been linked to two of the current head coach openings around the National Football League. The Tennessee Titans and New York Giants are both hitting the reset button this offseason after firing Brian Callahan and Brian Daboll, respectively. Spagnuolo makes sense as a replacement in both settings, which is why references are needed.
