Russ Ball as GM = Yes

Cowher as HC = Not so yes

Regardless of what people think of the "marty era" it sort of makes sense for Clark to reach back into that particular era of Chiefs football.

It was the only recent era of prolonged success for the Chiefs. It would also help build goodwill with the fanbase to bring back in a "Native son" so to speak.

I suppose when looking for a GM that they look for a successful team and look at those who evaluate the talent on those teams...

I would go looking there first for an unknown and quit trying to resurrect the career of someone that has already had a chance.

Cowher is a good coach but everybody who has coached the Steelers has been successful so that tells me it goes way farther than him.

That is true, the native son aspect of a Russ Ball would possibly give the Chiefs kingdom a feeling of connection to not only the past but the feeling of this guy is one of us.

Danny Parkins from 610 was talking about it last night on Lazlo's show.

We need a GM that understands KC and Ball does

No to Cowher. I know this might be unpopular but I think Cowher's time has passed and I think he is a tad overrated and a product of the Steeler's system.

Can you post a link to Danny on lazlo's show? Is there a podcast?

I guess Cowher is ok if you have a good OC who can talk him out of Martyesque tendencies.

Um Cowher once he had Ben would open the playbook and throw it. Hell even when they had Maddox they'd throw it alot

I would not be happy with Cowher, but, he runs the same systems -- E/P offense & 34 2 gap defense.

Russ Balla ass GM

Todd Haley?

(ducks for cover) :D

I don't think the Chiefs are as close to being a player in the NFL as you all do but it would not take a whole lot to get them there... Seems to me it would be an attractive place to be overall from the standpoint of the odds of being successful.

not interested in cowher, but Ball is alright
