Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has admitted he wants another go as a head coach in the NFL.
Spagnuolo is extremely highly regarded in Kansas City and has played a central role in the team’s run to two straight Super Bowl titles.
But now, speaking as the Chiefs finalize their preparations ahead of the playoffs, Spagnuolo dropped a hint that he sees his future away from the organization.
Asked if he would ever want a shot as a head coach, he said: ‘I’ll deal with that later. The answer is yes but right now, it’s all about Denver (Chiefs play the Broncos on Sunday). I’ll let all of that take care of itself.”
Spagnuolo’s comments will no doubt put plenty of team on alert, coming at a time when several NFL vacancies are expected to be available in the offseason.
But there is minimal chance there is an opening at Kansas City. Last year, head coach Andy Reid, 66, ended rumors of a retirement by signing a new five-year deal to stay.
