Chiefs Hall of Famer Tim Grunhard expressed his confidence in Steve Spagnuolo potentially becoming the next head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs once Andy Reid retires. Grunhard emphasized the widespread respect Spagnuolo commands both within the league and from the Chiefs organization.

According to Grunhard, Spagnuolo’s recent re-signing with the team underscores the high regard he is held in, paving the way for him to step into the head coaching role in the future. Grunhard speculated that Reid may have another 2 to 4 years left before retirement, during which time Spagnuolo could continue to learn and prepare for the transition.

Grunhard believes that Spagnuolo’s leadership qualities and the respect he commands make him a strong candidate to succeed Reid as the head coach of the Chiefs. This potential succession plan reflects the team’s commitment to continuity and maintaining a winning culture for years to come.
