2nd January, 2008 - 6:12 pm
NFL.com - The Kansas City Chiefs have fired Offensive Coordinator Mike Solari and three other assistant coaches following a dismal 4-12 season.

Solari, Offensive Line Coach John Matsko, Receivers' coach Charlie Joiner, and Running Backs' Coach James Saxon were let go Tuesday after a season in which the Chiefs were among the worse offensive teams in the NFL.

Solari, Saxon, and Joiner had been on the staff of previous Coach Dick Vermeil. Tight ends' Coach Jon Embree and Assistant Head Cach/Quarterbacks' Coach Dick Curl were the only offensive assistants who were retained.

Kansas City scored just 226 points this season, worst for a 16-game season in their history, and averaged 276.8 yards in total offense, second-worst in the NFL behind San Francisco. [READ]
