Dude, WE DO NOT want Ferentz. He's the type of coach that would hover right around .500 and NEVER LEAVE.

Nah. I think Ferentz can take Pioli to the hallowed ground of 0-16 or 1-15.

Yes We Can!

Perhaps if you're a masochist...

Truth

And exactly how I wouldn't describe the Marty years.

It's infinitely better to come up a little short while playing with the big boys, than to be a neverending, eternal laughingstock. I couldn't even hold my head up around Rams fans this year. ****ING RAMS FANS.

Kirk Ferentz is a True Fan's dream.

He's an offensive line guru and understands defense up front.

He's a worst case scenario, just good enough to stay for 10 years, not good enough to win a championship.

Laughingstocks make you LAUGH.

Anybody that gets embarrassed because they root for a team is taking it too seriously.

But hes' from "the tree"! THE ****ING TREE!!!!


Ferentz is one of the dealbreakers for me. He shows up, and I'm out.

There has to be a degree of embarassment, or 'rooting' is a completely worthless enterprise.

Rooting means you have assessed the situation and deemed this endeavor worthy of your interest. Rooting for the Chiefs means you know shit-all about the NFL, no two ways about it.

OK, long day of meetings.. ****! (Fine time for a fiscal cliff drill!!!) Anyway, do the Chiefs have any contractual obligations that require the Chiefs to allow him to make important decisions? If not, and all he gets is a guaranteed amount, I'd say that they can indeed put him in a cube in the basement and make him HMFIC of gum wrapper patrol. And his game-day $8M can be to patrol various parts of the stadium picking up trash. It's not much for $8M, but it's better than letting anybody even remotely think he's got any connection to football operations.

Wen the team is this bad, rooting is a completely worthless enterprise anyway.

Zero expectations = zero disappointment.

God, you're beautiful.

Maybe it's my memories of chuckles under my breath when I saw there was a dedicated Bengals or Lions TV at the sports bar in years past.

My last comment (for the time being) on the Billick-Cowher debate is this:

The first broke dick won his lone SB with an historic defense. This is exactly the model that we've argued against, countless times, when people attempt to mitigate the need for a franchise QB.

The second broke dick won his lone SB when he drafted a young, franchise QB. This single draft pick outweighs the entire draft record of the Ravens because Big Ben has gone on to win another SB and has consistently put PITT in the championship discussion because of his presence.

The Cowher SB model is repeatable. The Billick model, while repeatable, is far more difficult to obtain.

Finally, yes it was fortuitous that PITT was in position to select Roethlisberger, but they still had to have the good sense and balls to make the pick. Attributes the Chiefs haven't possessed since '83.

If the Chiefs select Smith and he ends up being what we think he can be, we won't look back on the pick and say the team fell ass backwards into the pick because we know how vehemently some have attempted to disparage the player and argue for franchise (insert less important position).
