The Kansas City Chiefs made some coaching moves, which were announced on their official Twitter account on Friday afternoon. The Chiefs filled one of their assistant coaching vacancies by hiring former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Joe Cullen as the new defensive line coach.
Cullen, 54, worked as a coach in the NFL for 15 years, mostly as a d-line coach, with five different teams beginning with the Detroit Lions (2006-2008), followed by the Jacksonville Jaguars (2010-2012, & 2021), Cleveland Browns (2013), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2014-2015), and the Baltimore Ravens (2016-2020).
Cullen will replace Brendan Daily, who will be filling in as the team’s linebackers coach which was the actual vacant spot on the coaching staff, left by Matt House when he took the defensive coordinator job at LSU back in late December 2021.
Daily, 46, spent the last three seasons on Andy Reid’s coaching staff as a run game coordinator and defensive line coach. He’ll spend the upcoming 2022 season working with Nick Bolton, Willie Gay, and the rest of the Chiefs’ linebacking core.
Going in Pro Bowl weekend, the Chiefs have one final spot of the coaching staff left to fill: quarterbacks coach.
