The Kansas City Chiefs announced Friday that they hired Al Harris as their secondary coach, Mark DeLeone as a quality control coach and they are keeping assistant strength coach Brent Salazar.

Kansas City also signed wide receiver Tyler Shoemaker.

Harris, who played 15 years in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins and St. Louis Rams, will start his first year as an assistant coach. He was a two-time Pro Bowl defensive back.

DeLeone was with the New York Jets in 2012. Salazar has been the Chiefs' assistant strength coach for six years. Shoemaker, an undrafted free agent last year, was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prior to training camp.

I liked Al Harris. Just sumpin' about him. I hoped he would make the jump into coaching, because he was already a coach on the field. Was kinda hoping he'd stay on as a Rams coach, but it didn't come to pass. Happy for him though. Good dude. Excellent hair.
