4th and 5 from the 13 down 28-21 with a little over 3 left he kicks a fg and
gives the ball back to Mahomes.
You can't make these dumb coaching moves up if you tried.
Fangio joins a long list of successful defensive coordinators who could not get the job done as an NFL head coach.
Think Steve Spagnuolo, Romeo Crennel, Dom Capers, Rod Marinelli, Jim Schwartz and the father-son team of Buddy and Rex Ryan.
Makes you appreciate the work of Bill Belichick all the more.
Other former defensive coordinators who have done well as NFL head coaches include Pete Carroll, Mike Tomlin, Mike Zimmer and Mike Vrabel.
One of the best DCs to become a successful HC (2 SBs as a HC, 3 SB as a DC) was the 49ers George Siefert who later coached Carolina. His last year at CAR was 1-15, and despite that, his NFL regular season record was 114-62, (64.8%).
His coaching tree included Pete Carroll (DC), Jeff Fisher (DB), Jon Gruden (O Asst), Mike Holmgren (OC), Gary Kubiak (QB), Ray Rhodes (DC) and Mike Shanahan (OC)
This makes me appreciate more on the work done by Mike Vrabel in keeping Tennessee Titans together after losing key superstars for a period of time.
Fangio wasn't able to develop/find decent QB play during his tenure.
He's probably best-suited to return as a DC someplace.
Think Leslie Frazier and Todd Bowles.
