Why the Chiefs need Cowher...

[htismaqe]

No Super Bowl winning coach has ever won the Super Bowl again with a different team. We know this.

We also know the NFL is fixed.

There wouldn't be a bigger story line in the NFL next year than if the Chiefs, who haven't drafted a QB since Todd Blackledge, were to win the Super Bowl, making Cowher, who has been in the broadcast booth, the first coach to win it all with 2 different teams.

Make it happen, Roger!

I'll say this first, I'm a big Cowher fan. I like the way his teams perform for him, which would be a huge change to what the current Chiefs do.


However, I do get the criticisms for him.

But, seeing where the current fanbase is and the way things are going, I think the next hire will have some nostalgia with it. Like it or not, the next hire is going to be all about restoring the "fandom" here in KC. I know the best way to do that is to win and reestablish what once was.

Granted what once was, was never with a franchise QB, but thats where I'm heading with this next line of thought.

If you bring in Cowher, you can say he didn't win a SB until he got Big Ben, which is true. But in this situation, he's pretty much going to be forced to start with a QB here.

So we are throwing out anything and everything that has ever had a tie to the KC chiefs previously, when hiring the next round of coaches?

Without the QB, they are both Scott *****/RAC.

Did Cowher get anywhere with that little gadget QB? (I forget his name) Nope.

Hire another Todd Haley and get a ****ing QB, problem solved.

No thanks to Cowher for me.

Come on, man.

First six years in Pitts:
64 wins
5 Divisional Championships
5 playoff victories
3 AFC Championship appearances
1 SB appearance (lost to Dallas)

All with jack and shit at QB. I'll take that resume. Please.

He's a brilliant coach who is only 55 years old.

He comes to KC, and the organization is instantly legitimate.

This.

I wasn't a big Cowher supporter, but i've been warming up to the idea and i can get on board.

The team will at least be tough and disciplined.

And by the time he's 70, we should be competing for a world championship.

Right now KC needs that "starter coach" that a lot of college programs hire.

They know they won't hit the top 10 but this is the guy that will build the basics and get them to 5 or 6 bowls.

That's Cowher.

He'll win. He won't shock the league or reinvent the wheel but he'll win...

I would have to be convinced he still has the desire to do what it takes to win after sitting around for the last 5 years. I really am not interested in another Dick Vermeil situation.

Seems he's not a good choice then.

I don't think it would take a whole decade with The Chin & Geno Smith for us to win a Super Bowl. I am not big on Cowher, but I also know our defense wouldn't get pushed around like they do now. We would have a sollid team that gets respect again like the 90's. With Geno Smith could put us in Super Bowl contention imo. Just no damn retread QBs & I will be happy.

Ross:GM
Cowher:HC
Norv:OC
RexC

Eh. I'm pretty iffy about Norv. Maybe he has a career resurgence ala Wade Phillips. I don't know though. Don't really want Cowher but if Kelly is unavailable and we're taking Geno, then fine.

I'd almost go.
HC: Jay Gruden. Jay does enjoy stretching the field vertically with AJ. Geno +PA +Deep ball=
OC: Andy Reid (if possible, doubtful IMO)
DC: Rexasaurus Rex.

This is all just off the top of my head so I'll come up with a better list later.

Vermeil had plenty of desire; his problem was that he's ****ing stupid and too loyal to really stupid people.

[O.city]

Cowhers first 6 years in Pitt, he went to 1 SB, 3 AFC Champ games, and in the playoffs every year.
