Another person linking Polian's to KC

Well I don't really know how to feel about the Polian's to be honest. Sure Bill has had a lot of success through the years with three different franchises. He fits the style of front office man that Clark wants, which is why he is probably at the top of the list.

With that said, how would he run the defense? Would he try to make us small and fast like his Indy teams or somewhere in between? One would assume we would move away from the 3-4 to the 4-3 correct?

We're already small. Fast, meh, not so much

So a guy has had a lot of success with three different franchises and you question whether or not you want him? Please tell me this is a joke?

Would you prefer a guy who sucks at three different franchises like Brian Daboll?

I would take him in a NY minute or Marc Ross from the Giants

Are you really getting him, or are you getting his kid with training wheels?

This is really THE argument.

He drafted Kerry Collins in Carolina, who had 40K passing yards, a Super Bowl appearance, and was BY FAR the best QB in that draft class not named Steve McNair. In fact, if you look at the 1995 1st round, Collins really was a great pick regardless of position.

He decided to take Manning over Leaf (and despite the revisionist history, there really WAS a tough decision that had to be made).

In the end though, his tenure in Indianapolis became about setting Chris up. One has to wonder if Polian has any competitive fire left or if his concern is solely about his legacy.

I'm not really fond of the idea myself.
