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.
Because building good will with the fans is better built on warm fuzzies and nostalgia than on winning playoff games and Super Bowls.

Not true Parker. Donovan is the marketing/business guy. Ball's has been in coaching and then working in the personal departments. He has been salary cap and contract man.

No to Cowher.


Russ Ball is fine with me. But doesn't he do the same thing Pioli did in NE? Worries me a bit.

DaWolf 10-17-2012 09:22 AM
When's the last time the local media got a Chiefs rumor right? Wasn't the guy from 610 saying that Pioli would be canned if we lost to Tampa? This takes me back to the "we've hired Shanarat" rumor.

Wake me up when Schefter reports on this...

I'm betting that these guys got the idea from you

I'm skeptical about Ball. Reminds me of Pioli. I'd rather have a guy like Dimitroff or DeCosta...guys who came up in scouting.

They sure as hell didn't get Cowher from me thats for sure. :)

Why not hire Cowher as the GM and let him hire a new Head Coach?

Reading the article about him linked earlier in the thread, it sounds like he'd be more of a GM in name only. He'd be the perfect guy to come in as GM if you planned on giving all personnel control to the coach, which is something Cowher I'm sure would demand...

This would mean that Cowher would be making the majority of the personnel decisions. I am NOT in favor of that AT ALL.
Exactly. I think Ball would be a candidate as team president that would hire the GM and be involved in the coaching hire. But Ball would report to Clark Hunt, not the general manager.

Chain of command.

You'd be saying hello to Russ Grimm. No thanks...

He's been an administrator his entire NFL career. He has never evaluated talent.

Precisely why I hate the idea.
