I don’t know what the disconnect was between Coach and players but they gave up at the time the most yards ever 7,024. Reading some of the articles, it appears the change from Greg Williams who allowed his players to have input and do certain things, to Spags who was my way or the highway type really P'Oed off a lot of players.
I find this so interesting becuase the article specifically mentions that the Chiefs players have input into the defensive scheme. Maybe Spags learned from his mistakes.
FROM THE ARTICLE: The reason the Chiefs defense could make so many alterations at halftime, Spagnuolo said, was because his players can help solve schematic problems alongside him.
