DC Bob Sutton Fired by Chiefs After AFC Championship Loss to Patriots

The Kansas City Chiefs announced they have fired defensive coordinator Bob Sutton after a disappointing season on that side of the ball.

“Bob is a good football coach and a great person," said head coach Andy Reid in a statement released by the team.

"He played an integral role in the success of our team over the last six seasons. I’ve said before that change can be a good thing, for both parties, and I believe that is the case here for the Chiefs and Bob. This was not an easy decision, but one I feel is in the best interest of the Kansas City Chiefs moving forward.
