The Kansas City Chiefs have made two minor changes to their coaching staff for the 2020 NFL season.
The first change is to the title of Mike Kafka. In addition to serving as the Chiefs’ Quarterbacks Coach, Kafka will also have the title of Passing Game Coordinator. What does that mean? Well, reading between the lines, it doesn’t mean a whole lot. This is more of a formality done to keep Kafka on the coaching staff than anything else. He may have a few extra responsibilities with the title, but don’t expect much to change.
Kafka was expected to be a candidate for the Eagles offensive coordinator vacancy. Later we learned that Andy Reid wasn’t interested in letting his quarterback coach go. Kafka is very clearly being groomed to take over for offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who has been a head-coaching candidate during the past two coaching cycles.

Kansas City has also added a new member to their coaching staff. Former Missouri assistant coach Andy Hill will be hired to become the next Assistant Special Teams Coach for the Chiefs, where he’ll work under coordinator Dave Toub. Toub and Hill previously worked together at the University of Missouri in 1996 and 1997. Hill has served as a coach with Mizzou in some capacity since 1996, occupying roles from Wide Receivers Coach to Associate Head Coach.
The former coach occupying this role, Rod Wilson, left Kansas City after the 2019 NFL season. He became the Inside Linebackers Coach for his alma mater, the University of South Carolina.
