Chiefs Is it starting to become pathetic how Patriots-like we're trying to be?

TigerPig · 10:51 PM

I mean, do other teams and analysts think, "They are so smart for going after Weis, Cassel, and (possibly) Crennel, to try and bring that winning attitude to KC!" Or are they thinking, "How pathetic, they can't even make their own decisions on coaching and are just trying to copy New England as much as possible!"

Its pretty obvious we're ripping off the Patriots' philosophy. We're not copying it, we're literally trying to take the exact personnel and players they had and win with them here. Is this a smart, tactful thing? Or a sad and pathetic thing?

FTR I don't see a problem with it. If we start winning, they can change Cassel's name to Tom Brady and put Haley in a huge hoodie for all I care.

We're hiring people who have had success in the NFL before.

Who would you propose we hire instead that is out there looking for work..?

Every post of yours I have read is pathetic.

There are worse franchises to emulate

RedThat · 01-06-2010, 10:14 PM

I think its smart. Nothing wrong with hiring people who have a great wealth of knowledge and experience and success to go along with that.

By my count this is the third time the Chiefs have tried to ape a more successful franchise.

Dante84 · 01-06-2010, 10:15 PM

All I ask is, "What would another team do in the same situation?"

- Pioli? Hell yes they would.
- Weis? Well, with a rook head coach, some experience would be nice. Same system, too.
- Crennel? Again, who else would we get? Clancy sucks, and Romeo runs the 3-4.

Also, the guys have multiple rings and know how to get it done.

I get the whole patriots rip off thing, but honestly, its the right move, given the situations.

That's right, stay positive!

There's a lot of love in this room...

It's much cooler than the Denver Browncos, I think.

Says the guy that wouldn't pay Josh Cribbs because he's worried about our "limited funds" going into an uncapped season.

Johnny Vegas · 01-06-2010, 10:17 PM

yeah it does. I'd rather have a Raiders like team where nobody is on the same page.

They probably thought the Patriots were pathetic when the signed all the former Browns/Jets back in the early 2000's. Or do they think that was smart?
