The Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> are making a wide range of adjustments heading into next season. Some coaches are expected to move on, while others, including longtime assistant Dave Toub, are set to remain, especially given his status as one of the franchise\u2019s veterans alongside Andy Reid.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite other staff changes, the Chiefs are expected to retain special teams coordinator Dave Toub as part of their 2026 staff, per source,\u201d Arrowhead Corner reported on X. The post drew more than 268 replies, with fans offering mixed reactions to the news that the coordinator will be staying with the team.<\/p>\n

Toub has been with the Chiefs since 2013, originally joining the staff as special teams coordinator. He now also holds the title of assistant head coach, putting him in close proximity to Reid<\/a> and making him one of the most experienced voices on the coaching staff when it comes to that phase of the game.<\/p>\n

Fan reaction to Toub\u2019s return<\/p>\n

Fans expressed mixed feelings on X and other platforms after learning that Toub will remain in Kansas City. Several pointed out the lack of special teams touchdowns over the past four to five seasons, and many of the replies reflected clear frustration with the unit\u2019s recent performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are Chiefs fans excited about small coaching changes\/firings of the WR and RB coaches, but seem to be just fine with ST coach Dave Toub sticking around for another season when at least five games were lost this season due to special teams? You can\u2019t make this stuff up,\u201d Darrent Smith wrote on X (@darrensmithnfl).<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing back Dave Toub despite the Chiefs\u2019 special teams consistently regressing is terrifying for that reason alone. It\u2019s also terrifying because it could very well be a theme of what changes Andy Reid plans to make, or not make, to his coaching staff,\u201d Lance from The Spoken podcast wrote on X (@lancethespoken).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kansas City Chiefs are making a wide range of adjustments heading into next season.
