Gunther Cunningham Gunther Cunningham ( born June 19 , 1946 ) is an American football defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions . Cunningham has presided over some of the most successful defenses in NFL history ( 1995 & 1997 ) , typically ranking at the top of the league in many statistical categories . Cunningham was born in 1946 in war - torn Munich , Germany to an American serviceman and a German mother before moving to the United States at age ten . He attended the University of Oregon , where he played linebacker and placekicker before embarking on a coaching career that has now spanned almost forty years . In 1995 , Cunningham was hired by the Chiefs as the defensive coordinator after spending the previous four seasons as a coach with the Los Angeles Raiders . During his original tenure as defensive coordinator , Cunningham ' s defenses allowed an average of only 16 . 4 points per game , the best mark in the NFL and had a turnover margin of + 30 , tops in the AFC . Under his lead , a number of players excelled , including stars such as Derrick Thomas , Neil Smith , James Hasty , and Dale Carter . Cunningham ' s defenses led Kansas City to an overall record of 42 - 22 . After the Chiefs missed the playoffs in 1998 , head coach Marty Schottenheimer resigned , opening the door for Cunningham ' s promotion to the head coach position . After finishing two seasons with a . 500 win percentage , Cunningham was fired and replaced by Dick Vermeil . The move was controversial at the time as Cunningham claims he was never informed by management that he was to be fired , and apparently only found out about it after discovering the article regarding his termination on the Chiefs website after he showed up to work one morning . Cunningham went on to become a successful linebackers coach for the Tennessee Titans . Under Vermeil , the Chiefs ' offense exploded , but its defense struggled , resulting in the firing of Vermeil ' s choice of defensive coordinator , Greg Robinson . Cunningham was hired again to revitalize a defense that had finished near or at the bottom of the overall rankings since Schottenheimer and Cunningham departed . For the 2008 season , Cunningham coached the Chiefs ' linebackers as well as serving as the defensive coordinator . Cunningham was hired as the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator on January 21 , 2009 , about a week after the Lions hired new head coach Jim Schwartz , who he worked with on the Titans from 2001 - 2003 . He became a naturalized U . S . citizen on April 6 , 2010 . External links .
