Warpaint Illustrated has confirmed that the Kansas City Chiefs have filled the majority of the assistant offensive coaching positions. Here’s the rundown on the new staff.

WIDE RECEIVERS – Karl Dorrell

After five seasons as head coach at UCLA, Dorrell was fired in December. He has previous NFL experience as a wide receivers coach from three years in Denver, where he helped Rod Smith and Ed McCaffery develop into one of the best receiving tandems in the league. The pair combined for 201 receptions in 2000. Dorrell is also credited with helping Charles Johnson and Michael Westbrook flourish at Colorado in the early 90s.

QUARTERBACKS – ???

At the moment Dick Curl remains Kansas City’s quarterbacks coach, but we’ve learned that it’s a possibility Eric Price could end up taking over the position if he chooses to leave his current job as offensive coordinator at the University of Texas-El Paso. Price briefly coached Brodie Croyle at Alabama and has history with Herm Edwards, as he served as an offensive assistant with the New York Jets in 2001 and 2002, where he was instrumental in preparing quarterback Chad Pennington to play. Price also coached quarterbacks at Washington State from 1998-2000.

Price may end up as receivers coach for Chiefs
MOBILE, Ala. | Eric Price recently interviewed to become the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator but could join their coaching staff in a different capacity.

Price, the offensive coordinator at Texas-El Paso, might be joining the Chiefs as their wide receivers coach. The Chiefs’ first choice to become receivers coach, former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell, took a job with the Miami Dolphins.

Chiefs coach Herm Edwards hired Chan Gailey instead of Price as offensive coordinator. But Edwards thinks highly of Price, who once coached for him when Edwards was with the New York Jets.

The Chiefs recently hired Colorado State offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins as running backs coach and Bob Bicknell as offensive line coach. Modkins was running backs coach for Gailey at Georgia Tech. Bicknell was the Chiefs’ assistant offensive line coach last season.

WHO TO BELIEVE?!?

Thankyou, Mr. FAX.

Here's a tip from a journalist... don't trust Nick. Trust only yourself. Don't put your name on something someone else says without checking it yourself.

Income wise, it's best that Mr. GoChiefs continue writing what Nick tells him to write. Facts or no facts. You go, Mr. GoChiefs.

FAX, yes, that is exactly what he should say. A journalist would do this. I've done it myself when not only my editor but the publisher herself told me to write something.

I've written incorrect things in my tenure as a reporter, editor, film reviewer... and I'm proud... PROUD... to say that every one of my mistakes was MY mistake. I've never written something incorrect because a boss told me to and I didn't check it out for myself.

It's not a trust thing at all. It's simply the fact that as a journalist you confirm facts before you write something. You cannot do your job if you're writing something simply because your boss told you to.

Further, if Nick respects his employees and respects the profession, GOATSE would remain gainfully employed even after he fact-checks.

[FAX]

All very true, Mr. Fire Me Boy!. But, surely you realize that made up news is far more interesting than real news.

Seriously, and as I mentioned earlier, I'm not certain you can categorize WPI as "journalism" or as a "news outlet". It's a different breed of duck. Kind of a hybrid duck. Maybe a crosseyed duck that flies upside down and lays little green eggs and quacks a lot.

I'll go slash my wrists now.

No access to the internet, wow, I have used the internet out in my treestand and in the middle of canada fishing before. Hmmm. Maybe his palms were too chaffed to type or something. I would find it hard to "work" at a place with such a irreputable product.

That's an interesting position. I was paid a whole lot more than $500 but I was paid a pittance compare to what Nick represented and what my half of ChiefsPlanet was worth. Did Nick make an effort to make it right? Yes - and I recognize that. I appreciate the effort.

Yet, I still came up short. It's not just the money. It's mostly Nick.

So what is the truth is Dorrell coming to KC or Miami?

[FAX]

Most of the news/speculation is saying he's going with the fins, Mr. dirk digler. But, who knows?

If he does, it will be a shame. I'll also feel very sorry for Mr. GoChiefs. If Nick was wrong about this one, it's just another nail in the cred coffin. You would think that he would have learned by now.

From the Charlotte Observer about Miami:

http://www.charlotte.com/panthers/story/452005.html

Shortly after accepting his own job, Sparano also was interviewing recently fired UCLA head coach Karl Dorrell for the wide receivers job.

It is not yet known if Dorrell is leaning more heavily toward one of the other two jobs he has interviewed for, but both positions could be appealing.

Dorrell coached in Denver from 2000-02 as the wide receivers coach, and he also is believed to be very interested in the Kansas City job.

APPENDED:

From the Miami Herald:

http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/story/388468.html

As the Dolphins continue to await word on several Cowboys defensive assistants about whether they would accept offers to join coach Tony Sparano in Miami, the offensive staff also could soon fill itself out.

Former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell is expected to be named the team's wide receivers coach at some point this week, as Dorrell is believed to have chosen Miami over Kansas City.

Might have already been said...but that would be REDICULOUS if Price was named WR coach (assuming no Dorrell) if we got him to KC with Dick Curl still being our QB coach. It would be like having Bill Cowher as our DC while Herm's the head coach. Why would you have Curl coach te QB's when you have a perfectly good one in the office next door?


Heck...I'd rather have Price divide his time and be both the QB coach AND the WR coach before letting Curl anywhere near the QB's next year.

[Sure-Oz]

Well i hope we can get official confirmatio of Dorrell being hired by someone? I surely hope it is us.

[teedubya]

FAX, Who needs facts?

[Sure-Oz]

Watch Price and Dorrell both go to Miami

Rushing to "scoop" prior to getting your fucking FACTS straight = piss-poor journalism (at best). It is why informed fans generally consider WPI to be a complete joke, to be mocked.
