There are multiple reasons that Clark is right to land the HC first.
1. As you stated get them early while they are available.
2. Getting them early gives them a chance to organize quickly to get the best coordinators, get a system in place and still have time to evaluate talent before free agency.
3. Having the HC report to the owner draws the owner into the operations and attracts the best coaching talent.
4. The system now belongs to the HC not the GM. This is the best recipe for establishing a long tenure and stability. This is the most critical need the Chiefs have as a coaching staff. No more executing the HC for the GM failures.
5. The GM needs to be after the talent the HC wants not what the GM wants. This puts the HC in the talent selection and acquisition process.
6. Having the HC involved in the draft process makes the GM more effective.
7. The GM is no longer king he is now a peer, which I believe the the most healthy arrangement for the whole team.
