Andy Reid will turn to a familiar name for his new defensive coordinator.
Steve Spagnuolo is the choice, The Star has confirmed.
Spagnuolo, 59, is the former head coach of the St. Louis Rams and New York Giants. He worked with Reid and the Eagles from 1999 to 2006 as a defensive assistant, defensive backs coach and linebackers coach before becoming the Giants’ defensive coordinator in 2007 and 2008.
The Chiefs’ plan to hire Spagnuolo was first reported by NFL Network and ESPN. The Chiefs have yet to announce the move.
