Thursday it was reported that a pair of SEC defensive coordinators are expected to interview for the same NFL job. A day later, a different NFL team has yet another coordinator from that conference in its sights.
According to Field Yates of ESPN, Andy Reid is expected to poach Kentucky defensive coordinator Matt House for a job on his Kansas City Chiefs coaching staff. Specifically, House would serve as Reid’s linebackers coach.

The Louisville Courier-Journal, however, reports that the “move has not been finalized and there is still a chance House stays in Lexington.”
House, who has previously worked on NFL staffs with the then-St. Louis Rams (2009-11) and Carolina Panthers (2012), has spent the past three seasons with the Wildcats, the last two as coordinator. This past season, UK finished eighth nationally and third in the SEC in scoring defense at 16.3 points per game.
