Chiefs fans are really, really mad that the team is bringing back Bob Sutton
Each day since Jan. 7, a vocal contingent of Chiefs fans would take to social media and ask when Bob Sutton would be let go as the team’s defensive coordinator.
Jan. 7 was the day after the Chiefs’ 22-21 loss to the Titans in an AFC Wild Card Game at Arrowhead Stadium, and some had hoped/demanded that the team make a change at defensive coordinator.
Alas, it’s not to be.
On Wednesday night, The Star’s Terez A. Paylor broke the news that the Chiefs were retaining Sutton as defensive coordinator and the reasons for the decision.
Not surprisingly, this upset a lot of Chiefs fans. Here is a sample of what they were saying (yep, this is just some of the responses):

Keeping BoB Sutton means losing Chiefs season ticket holders#chiefskingdom

After that stupid call they are prolly going to say we are keeping all the same players with no adjustments and expect something different to happen with the same crew. Somebody needs to have come to Jesus moments with Clark, Andy, & Bob before next year or it will be same BS

Speaking of "seniors" this is my reaction to hearing that Sutton isn't being fired (despite giving up 28-point and 18-point leads in the playoffs)

I think the majority of Chiefs fans were still on board with Andy but this news will have them jumping off in droves. Somebody better call the Clarks. We’ve seen this movie and it sucks!!!

2018 must be a throw away season while we let our first year starter cut his teeth. There is no other explanation that has made a lick of sense to me. I know you were for Sutton coming back but I just can’t see how a change is not needed.

@Chiefs the announcement of Bob Sutton staying JUST screamed that Andy, Mark and Clark are content with 8 wins and 3/4 full Arrowhead which equals PROFIT!! FANS DESERVE A CHAMPIONSHIP. Andy chose comfort over winning! #emptyarrowhead

The Chiefs are the only team that keeps a DC after blowing a 28 point lead and an 18 point lead. Please retire Bob Sutton.
