Kansas City Chiefs lose key member of Super Bowl-winning team
The Kansas City Chiefs have lost an important member of their team as they won multiple Super Bowls in the past few seasons. Andy Hill, an assistant special teams coach, has announced his retirement from coaching. The team released a statement thanking Hill for his years of service, with Hill responding in a statement of his own. 'Thank you @Chiefs - Coach Andy Reid and Dave Toub and the wonderful coaches and players that I was honored to be a small part of such a class organization-Top to bottom the best in the NFL! Our family says THANK YOU!,' Hill posted. Hill is a member of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame after spending multiple decades in the coaching business. He began as a graduate assistant at SMU in the spring of 1992 before leaving for Hutchinson Community College that fall. After eventually becoming the head coach at Hutchinson, Hill made the jump to the University of Missouri - where he's stay for nearly two-and-a-half decades. Hill served in various roles with the Tigers from 1996-2020. That included wide receivers coach, co-offensive coordinator, associate head coach, quarterbacks coach, and special teams coordinator. He eventually left for his final coaching job with the Chiefs for the 2020 season. In Super Bowl LVII, kicker Harrison Butker knocked through a 27-yard field goal to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35. The following season, special teams played a key role again as the Chiefs beat the 49ers in overtime.

Shoreham Airshow disaster pilot's license legal challenge rejected after crash that killed two team-mates
The mother of a Brighton & Hove Albion fan killed in an airshow disaster ten years ago is relieved after the pilot's bid to fly again was turned down for a second time. The High Court has ruled that pilot Andy Hill has no case for a judicial review. It follows a rejection last year of Hill's appeal against a decision by the Civil Aviation Authority not to restore his flying licence. Advertisement 'Hopefully, this really is the end of the road,' said Caroline Schilt, whose son Jacob was among the victims. 'We don't see how he (Hill) can go any further. All of the families we have spoken to are really relieved. 'He has been the bane of our lives for years now. We didn't think that at the beginning, because we assumed there was something wrong with the aircraft, and then we assumed the pilot would be absolutely mortified and would probably never want to fly again anyway.' Brighton supporter Jacob and his friend Matt Grimstone, a member of the club's ground staff, were among 11 men who lost their lives when a vintage jet flown by Hill crashed into traffic on a dual carriageway adjacent to Shoreham Airport in West Sussex in August 2015. The 23-year-old team-mates were on their way to play in a match for Worthing United. Hill was found not guilty in March 2019 of 11 charges of manslaughter by gross negligence and one charge of endangering an aircraft. An inquest in December 2022 ruled that the victims were unlawfully killed. Coroner Penelope Schofield said that it was 'clear and obvious' Hill should have abandoned the manoeuvre he was undertaking.
