The Chiefs fired five assistant coaches on Friday, seven weeks after the 2008 NFL season finished. Position coaches Jon Embree (tight ends), Curtis Modkins (running backs) and Eric Price (wide receivers) as well as quality control coaches Mike Ketchum and Kevin Patullo were all fired. It is unclear whether Chan Gailey (offensive coordinator), Bob Bicknell and Joe D?Alessandris (offensive line) and Tim Krumrie (defensive line) will remain with the team.
