No trying to pick anyone in particular but there is a part of me that likes the idea of a special teams coordinator as a HC. They are use to working for both the offense and the defense. They are not completely tied to either side of the ball. Special Teams are important in making a shorter field for the offense and also pinning the opponent deep for the defense. A good special teams unit makes it easier for both the other squads.

I'd vote for Chip Kelly.

I want no more Bellicheck disciples and no coaches son. Kyle Shanahan was enamored with Rex Grossman at QB last year and ran a very conservative offense. He'd probably like Cassell as his QB ... but for the fact that he has seen a real franchise QB this year in RG III.

Harbaugh played in the NFL... Chip Kelly has never played or coached in the NFL.

Kyle Shanahan has more of NFL coaching experience than Chip Kelly.

But without nepotism, he'd have none.

He's Lane Kiffin part two at this point.

The dumbshits trying to compare Harbaugh and Kelly are clueless.

Harbaugh ran an NFL style offense at Stanford... Chip Kelly runs a college-spread offense that would not work in the NFL.

How many QB's has Chip Kelly coached up to the NFL?

I count zero.

Funny how most of the people humping Chip Kelly also wanted Romeo over Jeff Fisher last January.

Offensive coaches give me pause because they're often too apt to try to dabble.

No offense, but it isn't like he's had a lot of talent to work with at that position since he's arrived there.

Also, please in detail, describe to me why and what aspects of Chips offense wouldn't work? Curious to hear this.

What about those of us that wanted neither of those turds?

People want Chip Kelly because (if he worked) he'd be the type of coach that transforms the game a little bit. He's not an old retread that will try to recreate the 80's or 90's.

Chip Kelly could bring the type of system into the NFL that other teams would copy, he's not the guy that see's what worked somewhere else and brings it to KC.

Running your QB like that in the NFL would get him killed. That would have to change. Chip Kelly is too stupid to know/see/change that. :evil:

Depends. Cam/Tebow are the only Qbs now I can see that physically could hold up. However, their other skills are abysmal, IMO.

I tend to think that Chip is smart enough guy that he would eliminate his zone read, and focus on utilizing his zone blocking scheme with a 1-back set. But who knows. Maybe he's a crazy **** who would literally get Cassel IRd just for the hell of it.

His spread offense relying on a running QB would fail in the NFL.

The NFL is a passing league and Chip Kelly's offense is not a passing offense.

Oregon is 84th in passing offense this year, 68th last year, and the highest they've finished in passing offense/game since Kelly has been head coach is 39th in the country.

The Chiefs need someone who will bring the high powered passing offense you need to win in today's NFL and that is not Chip Kelly.

We'll see how much of a brilliant head coach Kyle Shanahan is once he goes cold turkey on daddy's breast milk.

I think he'll flop worse than Josh McDaniels. When the **** has Kyle ever had a chance to demonstrate independent thinking without Ratface or his buddy Gary Kubiak looking over his shoulder checking his homework?

There were people who actually didn't want Rat Sr. Yeah, that was a mistake.
