The Lions&#8217; Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson, who hold the same respective positions, are as well. Coordinators can&#8217;t interview in person at this point until after their seasons end, meaning teams can move forward with Glenn and Johnson but must wait for Spagnuolo and Nagy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An underrated benefit of advancing to the AFC Championship Game: Teams cannot hold in-person interviews with Chiefs coordinators for head-coaching jobs until after conference championship weekend. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aXOflnkT7K\">https:\/\/t.co\/aXOflnkT7K<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Charles Goldman (@goldmctNFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/goldmctNFL\/status\/1881026304403030495?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_q6s52agd8\" class=\"tagStyle_1rck2gq-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_q6s52agd8\">Chiefs Have Underrated Benefit From Lions&#8217; Loss in Divisional Round<\/h2>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ugbztl1kl\">Both Spagnuolo and Nagy have expressed their desire to become head coaches again. The Chiefs&#8217; continuity is one of the biggest reasons the organization has so seemlessly remained on the same page, so losing either one would represent a major blow.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_641g6mdgk\">Glenn and Johnson, by most media, are considered stronger head coaching candidates than Kansas City&#8217;s duo. Now that opposing teams can meet with them in person, it&#8217;d make sense to offer the job if you believe either man is the right fit. Should a front office wait, it runs the risk of losing out on all of them.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_zu2njpt2m\">The quirky nature of the NFL&#8217;s interview rules do give the Chiefs a sizeable advantage. We&#8217;ve already seen the Patriots hire Mike Vrabel, for example, and things move quickly to ensure that coaches have time to fill out their respective staffs and start scouting college players.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_i8ti5o5qj\">Spagnuolo and Nagy deserve any and every opportunity that comes their way. A surprising downside of their success is that they&#8217;re often left behind in the interview process. Both have received virtual interviews already, so perhaps they&#8217;ve established good connections. Either way, the Lions&#8217; loss should give Chiefs fans a moment of relief.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_91d5n8ayx\">For now, the entire franchise is focused on winning a third straight Super Bowl, for which the Chiefs have the best odds at FanDuel Sportsbook (+230) following the Divisional Round win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas City Chiefs were mammoth winners on Saturday in the Divisional Round in more ways than you may realize.
