Nobody ever said KC's GM wouldn't acquire the players on the field... Not to my knowledge. My understanding is the coach would report to Clark, and he and the GM would likely work together on player acquisition.

Marty made it public that he told Clark to be patient with Fat Scott and Romeo.

Get your facts straight, dumbshit.

Yeah. so they could get us the number one pick.

Great advice.

What part of the equation is Clark hiring first? Then this person will have say about the GM hire.

50-50 my ass. Clark isn't so stupid to believe that he's really going to resolve debates about personnel. To use another Seinfeld line, the HC is going to have hand in this relationship.

Connect the dots, FFS.

If Clark hires a guy like Koetter, Horton, etc...

Who becomes the GM?

Who wants to put their job security in the hands of a guy like Dirk Koetter?

Flip side - he hires a retread like Cowher, Billick or Gruden - all guys that want total control.

The GM is going to be a cap/contract guy, and nothing more.

Beat me to it.

He built a super bowl team with two different teams. Both from scratch. We don't know what he could have done with a guy like weeden. But his value is how he coaches guys on the field, not the gm chess game. I am not ignoring Cleveland. I hate coaches who are GMs. And there is a difference between him running the scouting network in Cleveland versus in Kansas city, where his job is to let his personnel guys do the heavy lifting in scouting. It doesn't reflect on what he could have done to coach up those same players better than shurmur did.

And you keep skipping Seattle like they were nothing. They made the super bowl and won lots of playoff games. His track record there was every bit as impressive as cowhers.

Job security wouldn't be tied to coaching. Look what's going on right now?! Look at the Steelers.

Have Clark call me, please.

They won 4. In 10 years.

Doesn't Have say of the GM hire. Has say in Pioli's fate. Never said they'd have a say in his replacement. Although it would make sense. Say in who you want getting your groceries.

The new GM might be already working for the Chiefs, wouldn't surprise me at all of a promotion from within.

Deez, I don't buy fluff. But he spent a week studying with chip Kelly to understand their scheme. Almost became offensive coordinator there. He spent a whole summer watching high school offenses run the spread. Its not rhetoric. The guy has done his homework on the spread. Extensive homework. That is different from saying out loud during a game that he likes matt Cassel.

LMAO
