Never forget this man came up with the game plan that took down an undefeated pats team and held them to 14 points

[@RyanD2558]

If not for Spags we would be living in a world where Tom Brady has the only 19-0 season ever and another SB.

[@angrydrunkengerman2819]

@@RyanD2558 Spags is a QB killer. It's what he does.

[@Drpeppehr]

Its the NFL though so most of the world views this type of reasoning as why its kind of rigged

[@BlueBalledMedia]

​@@Drpeppehr People believe a lot of things without proof. It's okay if they believe the NFL is run by space aliens, or shadow governments.

​@@Drpeppehrrigged? GTF outta here! This ain't wrastling.

[@-yocs138]

One of the best coordinators of all time, but THE BEST big game coordinator in NFL history. As a Chiefs fan, I think I speak for everyone when I say we are so fortunate to have him.

[@shanajennings9273]

This man is a national treasure and KC should protect him at all costs.

[@AnxiouslyGaming]

One of the best Defensive Coordinators of All Time.. I still have horrible flashbacks of Romeo Crennel & Clancy Pendergast as our DC.. Bob Sutton was meh.. He was a hit or miss.

[@papasy3748]

him finally having a top flight DB room in KC is almost unfair to the rest of the league lol, as a fellow Chiefs fan I hope he stays forever and gets paid the money he deserves on every future contract.

[@rockhaven4435]

Yup. I'm a Giants fan and we're forever grateful for what he did for us in that 2008 Super Bowl against the Patriots. I was sad to see him go, but I was happy to see that he ended up with the Chiefs. To me he's the best DC in the league, hands down. Glad to see Spags is finally getting the recognition he deserves.

[@timothythompson2369]

The best, most in-depth interview I have ever heard with Spags. What a great guy. No wonder guys play so hard for him.

[@mikestone8756]

Spags is the 🐐 of coordinators in the NFL

[@BKABeloved]

When Eli makes the Hall Of Fame Spags should be the first person he thanks

[@MikeTheD]

Spags signing back up instead of hunting for a Head Coaching gig gave him legendary status in Chiefs history, if it wasnt there already

[@kevinbrennan-ji1so]

Niners fan here, but I can listen to Spags all day. What a great coach that loves his craft.

[@MrDavidknigge]

He genuinely respects Kyle, even though he isn't perfect, he's good for you guys.

[@xerosolar307]

Chiefs fan here, same with Kyle Shanahan man, what a brilliant mind, I really love how he thinks and it's always scary to face him

[@MrDavidknigge]

@@xerosolar307 yep, we're lucky to get the win. Better luck next time SF.

[@irvinrodriguez5360]

Nah. You guys won that fair and square. Spags had a masterclass gameplan and it worked. I just the Niners can give Purdy a god damn OL. He had free rushers in his face for the past 2 seasons and it’s exhausting.

[@jakespivey3716]

I'm 9'ers fan too. This is guy most responsible for our loss. My hats off to him.

[@reggaesquirrel.]

I felt it, and knew, deep, down inside when I heard Chris Jones shout "In Spags we trust!" on opening night

[@erlinghakaku9967]

This is the sort of shit we should have in mainstream media with millions of views. REAL FOOTBALL talk. thank you for this video!

[@TylerGG]

spags the goat! im selfish and want him to never leave the chiefs!

[@Noland55]

It is such a joy to listen to a very smart coordinator. He explains the concept & credits how his players perform. He appreciates smart players & must be a great teacher. I am so tired of coordinators hyping themselves to get a coaching job. Buddy Ryan had one good season with extraordinary players. He could never duplicate it. I think Spagnuola will be a 1st-round Hall of Fame inductee with a host of players from two Super Bowl winning teams to escort him in. I will enjoy watching both sides of the Chiefs next year. Thanks to the hosts of this interview.

[@Arbitrate]

I don't think there is a coordinator in the HoF. It would be great if Spags gets in, a testament to arguably a GOAT DC career

[@Thebob6]

What a coach. 49er fan here.

[@jonasb6440]

I love Spags so much man. Finally he gets the recognition/flowers he deserves

So glad we were able to get Spags extended into next year and beyond. His insight and vision, combined with a true love of his players is unequalled in the NFL. Thank youSpags, for being the missing leadership link on Defense we have needed for too long! You are the Yoda of Defense! GO CHIEFS!

That Super Bowl was a damn master class showing!!

As a niners fan, you guys are the best and steve spagnuolo is going down as the greatest DC ever...My niners are like the nineties bills because we're up against the chiefs...

[@MrRentedAmmo]

To limit what McCaffery can do was extremely impressive, KC will be a force for many many years

[@richardmedley7574]

They beat CMC up.

[@Orphim]

Listening to Spags, it's easy to understand why he's been such a successful coordinator. Not only knows the game, but his players and the confidence he seems to give them. Amazing!

[@CesarNoelQ]

Chiamarri Conner's versatility was also key as he always plays the third safety in the box

[@mikeogle3254]

What a fantastic conversation between these guys. Spags is incredible. My favorite post Super Bowl conversation, and I’ve watched a lot. Thank you Spags for such great work getting the most out of so many great players.

[@idgaf2024]

Spags has mastered NFL defence. Andy Reid has mastered NFL offence

[@Lonker65]

And yet they would tell you it's their ability to evolve that matters. They are masters, IMO, because they don't rest on their laurels. They empower people.

[@karenhardie1132]

He is amazing. Took out Buffalo and Baltimore at home, too. Allen and Lamar.

[@ryu-ken]

And purdy. Dude is a wizard man

[@Lonker65]

Thank all of you soooo much for this! I had been looking for an extended discussion with Spags. Having you two conduct the interview was icing on the cake. In my mind no coach in the NFL is more special than Spags, as a man, a coach, a mentor and a man of faith. Thanks again. And thank you Spags for everything ..,. the best is yet to come.

[@kcwizard72]

The fact that Spags is so confident and great, that he will explain most parts of his thinking when attacking this team...is bonkers to me?! This is AMAZING content fellas!! OH MY GOSH!! AND...he has the UTMOST respect for you two!!! WOW!!! - KC FAN here

As someone who was rooting for the patriots and niners in those Superbowls, this guy is the goat coordinator

22:50 that call was key ! A young Purdy didn’t do as usually taught (you throw to the spot where the blitz come so to BA) bit dis as in practice (that’s what he said) by throwing to Juaun. Then the missed assignement by Burdord killed us in OT

[@johnnyb1329]

I really hope Spags sticks around and takes the reigns from Andy. I love that guy.

[@RK-um9tu]

Whoever places Reid will be an offensive guy. Only 6 teams have an ex-DC as HC. Also, Spags is too old and has already failed as a HC.

[@VickieGhadyani-bj2fi]

​@@RK-um9tuNever took old the guy is genius, the best D- coordinator Would you trust a 30 yr old surgeon or 70 yr old w/ a lot of experience ?? Of course he is like a experience surgeon .

[@jeremywendell5501]

​@VickieGhadyani-bj2fi I don't know, I would take the 30-year-old surgeon. He's got a lot to lose. The 70-year-old I'm going to be worried about the steadiness of those hands.

[@jacksonpayne3477]

@@jeremywendell5501 as a general rule of thumb with medicine experience is far more important than anything else. 70 is pushing it tho.

Spags and Andy are about the same age. I'm more concerned if they retire at the same time honestly as that's more likely than just Andy retiring.

[@williamjones6652]

WOW...What a great interview. Thanks guys....AWESOME JOB!!!

[@ryanwhite9437]

Spags is the goat

[@WhiteWizzard]

Niners fan here. Spags was the MVP of that SB. He is a master of disguising blitzes and the play of the game was that 3rd and 4 with 2 min left. KC had 2 TO. Kyles ego got the best of him and he called a pass where running left twice ices the game. Brock is great but he’s young. He’s 1 1/2 seasons in. Spags disguised that blitz perfect and forced the Niners to kick a FG. To me that was the game. Why Kyle wanted to challenge the guy that shut down Tom Brady in his undefeated season with a young QB when he has the best RB and LT in the game is beyond my scope.

[@BeingButterfly]

Brock Purdy passing in OT on 3rd and 4 was NOT a disguised blitz. What happened is 49ers backup OL Spencer Burford decided to ignore his blocking assignment choosing to "play from instinct" instead. This allowed Chris Jones to run free unblocked at Brock Purdy. It wasn't a missed protection. In an after game interview, 49ers backup OL Spencer Burford said he decided to "play from instinct" instead of following his blocking assignment. It wasn't Spags disguising a blitz on that play. It was OL Spencer Burford killing an easy TD to Jauan Jennings by being fucking stupid!!! If Spencer Burford would have followed his blocking assignment blocking Chris Jones, Brock Purdy had an EASY touchdown to a wide open Jauan Jennings. Spencer Burford fucked up and cost the 49ers an OT touchdown.

[@joshuaj.2108]

He's referring to the 3rd and 4 in the 4th quarter with 2 minutes left

[@edsongwenhere]

Fantastic interview. Thanks guys!

[@maxtjones1]

[@MrDavidknigge]

I think he's sticking around. His wife finally moved to Kansas City. I here she bakes wonderful cookies.

Apparently they were able to sign him to either an extension or a new contract. Sounds like he's staying for a while!

[@MrDavidknigge]

@@Orphim in another interview yesterday, Spags said he would love to head coach again. If he was offered, the Chiefs would let him go.

[@Orphim]

@@MrDavidknigge He said it in this interview as well. But his wife finally moved down here and I don't know if he'd want to uproot now that he finally has her here. I know I'd be more than happy winning Super Bowls with, as he described it, possibly the best group he's ever had. And that's saying something considering the Giants defense he had.

[@mmaranta785]

What a great coach he is and explains thing so well

[@ambassador724]

There was no doubt going into that game that a spy on Purdy was going to need to be factored in. He was enough of a scramble threat in big plays that it had to be worked in.

[@tolbosama]

This tells me that Spags didn't respect Kittle as a pass catcher or route runner. If Kittle is who we think he is he should have been the gameplan. He was covered by LBs and safeties all game. Maybe he isn't the route runner/pass catcher we think he is.

[@JC-hq7iu]

Hard to break free on man coverage when you’re not a great route runner

[@bradasskg11]

Been telling people this for years. It’s disrespectful that he ever got compared to a guy like Kelce
