Now they\u2019ll play for a chance to become the first team in NFL history to three-peat as Super Bowl champions.<\/p>\n<p>Most would chalk up the team\u2019s success to two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes, who\u2019s set to play in his fifth Super Bowl in his seventh season as a starter. Others would point to head coach Andy Reid, who\u2019s just three wins shy of matching Bill Belichick\u2019s playoff win total.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, if we ask three-time All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones, there\u2019s someone else who deserves just as much, if not more, credit than coach Reid and Mahomes.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-chris-jones-credits-steve-spagnuolo-for-kansas-city-chiefs-success\">Chris Jones credits Steve Spagnuolo for Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 success<\/h3>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/NFL-Kansas-City-Chiefs-at-Carolina-Panthers-24842201-788x527.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=788,height=527,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/NFL-Kansas-City-Chiefs-at-Carolina-Panthers-24842201.jpg 788w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=428,height=286,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/NFL-Kansas-City-Chiefs-at-Carolina-Panthers-24842201.jpg 428w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=196,height=131,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/NFL-Kansas-City-Chiefs-at-Carolina-Panthers-24842201.jpg 196w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=465,height=311,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/NFL-Kansas-City-Chiefs-at-Carolina-Panthers-24842201.jpg 465w\" alt=\"Kansas City Chiefs star reveals big reason for team's profound success\" width=\"788\" height=\"527\" \/><figcaption>Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another undeniable X-factor to the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 success has been defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. He\u2019s been in the conversation to become an NFL head coach again for several years now. Seven NFL teams had a head coaching vacancy this offseason, yet only the New Orleans Saints have yet to hire a new leader.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons why Spagnuolo may be having a hard time landing another head coaching job is because the Chiefs are set to play in their third consecutive Super Bowl, and many teams like to have a head coach hired by now. While that didn\u2019t prevent the Minnesota Vikings from hiring Kevin O\u2019Connell during the Los Angeles Rams\u2019 Super Bowl run in 2021, it could be a factor here.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, star Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones isn\u2019t upset about Spagnuolo sticking around in Kansas City for as long as possible. He believes that as long as Spagnuolo is the team\u2019s defensive play-caller, the Chiefs will continue winning.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAs long as they continue to let Spags be our defensive coordinator and not hire him as a head coach, we\u2019re going to continue to win. For me, he\u2019s one of the greatest assistant coaches to ever coach the game. You look at his resume, he\u2019s got one of the greatest resumes. He finds a way to close. That\u2019s what Spags does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><cite>Jones on Steve Spagnuolo<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Spagnuolo has been an NFL head coach before when he led the St. Louis Rams to a woeful 10-38 record from 2009 to 2011, but he didn\u2019t have much roster talent to work with. Many have since said \u201cSpags\u201d has earned another crack at the job, yet the NFL seemingly hasn\u2019t agreed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s the secret to the Kansas City Chiefs&#8217; success?
