So again, what are the positives?

I think you are taking his quote too literally. Besides, if dungy is picking qbs, we are in trouble. Anyone who hires him needs to hire an expert offensive coordinator.

For a franchise in disarray, there is an argument that Dungy would be a stabilizing force... that being said, I'm not sure if he wants to get his hands dirty with a five year rebuild. He is the Pope of the NFL, makes a lot of money in TV and is universally respected (except by the football experts on this board).

Dungy? No ****ing thank you.

What the hell is wrong with some Chiefs fans that they're trying to justify what would truly be a terrible hire?

Drugs are bad.

9-7 baby!

Playoff tailgating...

Same positives as hiring Reid or cowher. You get a guy who is going to build a top notch football team who will be in a super bowl hunt every year.

For the record, I don't want to hire the guy because the downside is you get a very talented, well coached football team who can't win at the next level. Same downside as Reid and to some extent cowher.

That was exactly my point.

I'd prefer to have a guy with SOLID Super Bowl upside.

I'm not on board with recreating the 90s.

Sweet Jesus. Can I just shoot myself in the face with a piss-loaded Super Soaker and call it good instead?

I find it interesting that despite this, a lot of people want cowher. Nevermind that his offensive philosophy has ALWAYS centered around a conservative offensive philosophy with a few gambles sprinkled in.

Just listen to that ****face on ESPN. He's arrogant as ****, and always tries to throw in a story of his old glory days into everything. I want to smack that smug look off his face every time I see him on TV. I want nothing to do with the guy. He's 70 and is just looking to get his kid a job. That's it, that's all.

Because deep down people want Marty even though they also want a Super Bowl.

They feel like Cowher is Marty without the choke-in-the-playoffs aspect.

Not a single ****ing decent head coach has graced this team in such a long time that fans think that anywhere is up. "May as well turn to coaches who have won Super Bowls before"

I don't know if this is the most inspired idea but we could do a lot worse. But I respect Dungy more than most people on here. He's not some master tactician or personnel guy but he did good work in both TB and Indy. TB was the joke of the league when he took over. He lets his coordinators and talent do their thing. CP always has an excuse for everything. Yeah they had Manning. Yeah he had Monte Kiffin too. Belichick has never won a title without Crennel, but that doesn't mean he's a defensive fraud. Most importantly, we'll probably have the #1 pick. If Geno is as good as everyone here says he'll be, we are set.

That said, if Polian's the guy... Polian is making that first pick. Not Dungy, not anyone else. Polian would probably be the one hire with a bigger ego than Pioli, but to his credit he has about about 25 years experience over Pioli actually calling the shots and doing it well.

TAMPA TWO TO THE SHIP!

Polian's almost 70. Not interested.
Dungy's been away from the game too long.

No thanks to both.

Marty was a great coach in the regular season. As others, myself included, have noted before, if your life depends upon one regular season win, I'm not sure there's a coach I'd rather have preparing that team than Marty.

The playoffs, though? Damn. If regular-season Marty was also post-season Marty, we're talking about one of the all-time greats, not just a good coach with a tragic flaw on his resume.

It depends on what you've done in that time away from the game. Gruden for example... is a retread candidate the intrigues me. He's been studying up on the spread and I bet comes back with an offense we're not expecting.

There have been significant changes to the game in the time he's been away.
We already have a coach who the game has passed by.

It all matters is if the coach can adapt to the times. There are some coaches who are so hardheaded that they refuse to adapt to the new game, but the NFL has been a passing league for about 10-12 years and both DUngy and Gruden know that and i think they could adapt.

I am not saying that i want them to coach the team, im just saying i think both of these guys can adapt, they now watch the NFL from a different point of view from what the fans see and see how much this game is about passing now days.

Whoever the coach will be ill get behind him for at least the first year. IN the end, i dont have any control over it.

I could coach a Peyton Manning lead team to a Superbowl. Hire me when Fox leaves.

Being away from the game doesn't mean the game has passed you by. As long as you recognize it's changed and adapt. Vermeil did fine coming back. Shanahan did well coming back. If Gruden moves to more of a spread, he will too. Marty did too, if you count the fact that he still couldn't win the big game. Dungy's too smart a coach not to make a comeback and adjust his scheme. But again, like Marty, he's not going to win big games.

Marty with a franchise QB like Montana was good times. And that quarterback is in our grasp.

Dungy's pushing 60. He's been around the NFL a long time. Guys like him are rarely open to the winds of change in the league. I doubt seriously he'll have a fresh take on the game. I will say this though...If memory serves, he's never really been a meddlesome coach who had to have his hands in everything. So with bright young coordinators...maybe he'd be okay?

Vermeil was only away two years. And I think comparatively, the league changed a lot less over that stretch. Dungy's been gone for four.

Vermeil was gone for a decade. Edit more than that

Also throw dungy in the same "**** that" pile as Reid
Posted via Mobile Device

Dungy wouldn't even be in the top ten coaches I'd want.

Cowher
Arians
Kelly
Reid
McCoy
Gruden
Gruden
Clements
Sullivan

are you guys seriously arguing who's a better coach between Crennel and Dungy? Come on man!

Why is Cowher a better coach than Dungy... Because he scowls?

Exactly.

I'd hate to see the #1 overall pick get his bell rung for the first 2-4 years because he's in the hands of a horrible coaching staff; this is an extremely important pick coming up, it's going to be combined with a new staff off the heels of a terrible, terrible year. Ownership is in deep with fans, as bad as it has been in what, 25 years? Everything must go the right way or shit's going to explode immediately.
We can plant good seeds like Washington, Seattle and others, drafting good young talent or we can look like Arizona, Cincy, Oakland over the years when shitty coaching staffs selected talent at the top and ruined them, or just drafted shit and made it worse.

Yeah I think a good example is picturing what RG3 or Wilson would have done with our coaching staff this year.

:eek:

There is no need to worry guys. Dungy is not coaching.

Tony Dungy ‏@TonyDungy
We lived in Kansas City 3 years and loved it. I love the Hunt family. But I will not be back in coaching, there or anywhere else.

This is good news

Pheeew

That's a relief

I'm happy to hear this. Was getting tired of the stupid rumor. Never expected any truth out of it anyways.

I still think the Polian rumor is legit. I wonder who he would bring in?

Whew, I was about to fly a banner over his house telling him to stay the Fu@k away from KC.

Would be well worth it.

Bruce Arians?

The football gods are vengeful, yet merciful.

It came to pass that the one known as Dungy said unto the truefans, "No, I shall not be your savior. I shall not be resurrected as your false god."

Thank you Jeebus.

there was a interview on 810 tonight with a guy that writes for USA but lives or is originally from springfield, mo. I didn't get his name, but he interviewed Polian for USA and said Polian explained he is;

*interested in the job here
*thinks the team is mostly a QB away from contending
*does not know if the job is open
*is not sure Piholi & Staff (including Romeo) need to be replaced



I think it was during Kietzman's pgm. So, I guess that "polian & hunt" meeting rumor was garbage.

Or he's playing the PR games like so many do

QB away from contending : translation - signn a FA QB

@TonyDungy-We lived in Kansas City 3 years and loved it. I love the Hunt family. But I will not be back in coaching, there or anywhere else.

Monte Kiffin DID walk away from USC recently...just sayin. lol

HOORAY

thank god.

Dungy is a great human being, but yeah... i'm glad to hear this.

This :clap:

I don't think lying is a "pr" move and it's not what these guys do during interviews because that would all but ruin their credibility in the league.

When asked questions they don't want to answer, they just don't answer. You know, like "not going to comment at this time" kind of stuff.

Anyways, not to attack your OP, just putting the credible info out there for ya. Polian has not been with Clarky boy. I know it's painful to read, but according to credible source, it did not happen.

ROFL

You know ive been thinking if PIoli was gonna be gone why is he still here he cant perform any tasks.He wouldn't be working on Bowes or Alberts contract right.I think he did get an extension and will be here with Cassel next year.Cassel starts game 1.

ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

Well then you would see me on the 5 o'clock news getting arrested after burning arrowhead to the ground with about 300 of my CP brethren.

That's not what he told me at Best Buy the other day.

Ah Phew

Thank Goodness

HMOG

Please tell me you don't actually believe this.

Isn't a coach that has been out of the league for 3 or 4 years pretty much done?


It's just too long

mooch
cowher
dungy
gruden
vermeil
shottenheimer

Thanks. If we can avoid REALLY old coaches, that would be preferred.

great movie.
Love Kahn.
"I was so....so angry, that flames.....on the side of my face"

He would've been fine with our coaching staff. He would've been coddled on the bench behind wonderboy Casshole!!:#
