Likely to be the finalized staff...

[The Bad Guy]

From what I gathered, the staff will all be announced at once.

OC -Doug Pederson
QB coach - Matt Nagy
RB coach - Eric Bienemy
WR coach - David Culley
TE coach - Tom Melvin
OL - Eugene Chung
DC - Bob Sutton
DL - Tom Brasher
LB - Gary Gibbs
DB - Emmitt Thomas/Otis Smith *assistant
ST- Dave Toub

Senior offensive assistant/Assistant HC - Brad Childress

Don't know the quality control guys yet.

As for Childress, you DO realize he's not going to be serving as a head coach, right?

I can always say I loved you when, Gus Bradley....

DJ, who were you wanting to come in as the HC? I'm sure it's here somewhere but I don't really feel like looking around.

I'll stand by my posting history here, sport. I'm fairly confident that I don't look stupid suggesting anything.

Are there people that disagree? Yup - that's why we're here. But unlike you, I'm capable of putting up a substantive argument in favor of a position even in the face of disagreement.

You're still an idiot.

and so are you idiot. JFC high school day here. Count how many posts you've made suggesting all this shit about the Chiefs playing 43. It isn't gonna happen man.

Horrible horrible coaching is the culprit for most of the failure this season. A lot of these players need another chance. I think Bailey has promise as well. Again. A lot of our guys can be decent DEPTH, but need to be replaced as starters.

Eek. Yeah. San Diego is apparently interviewing Gus Bradley and may try hard to sign him as soon as the Seahawks lose in the playoffs. That would be bad for us. Real bad.

As of now, we are all Seahawks fans. It greatly benefits us for him to delay his eligibility for the head coaching ranks as long as possible. We need San Diego to just say, "**** it, we're not waiting this long" so they settle for some Rob Chudzinski.

Not worried about SD as long as Rivers is still under center.

I might end up liking the Pederson hire if enough people talk me into it but the rest I am just not feeling it. It just seems to me we replaced Patriot tree rejects with Eagles.

And this fossil we hired as DC, you can't tell me there was no one else better than this guy?

As far as Childress goes, I was raised that if you can't say anything nice just shut up.

[BradBigglestein]

Tommy Brasher is a good coach. I think you'll like him. Gets a lot out of his DL players.

Pederson is not a reject. I have no clue if he'll be a good OC. Reid basically promoted him from QBC, so he must like him.

All good coaches start somewhere. Just like Reid.

Holy God am I glad we stayed the **** away from Gruden.

Talks like Herm, thinks like Daboll, coaches like Haley.

No. Thank. You.

Unlike that worthless tub, Tyson Jackson, Poe showed flashes of actually be a damn good player. And while we joke about it, DTs do often take a hell of a long time to develop.

Put Poe in a 1-gap and I think he really can be a dangerous player. I think he'd be better in a 4-3...but that ship has sailed.

Ultimately I see no reason he couldn't be as good as Abreyo Franklin as soon as next season. That qualifies him for the list, IMO.

Abreyo Franklin hit the proverbial brick wall, LITERALLY.

I know it isn't going to happen. We're also only going to draft (maybe) 1 QB in the first round, but there's ample discussion over who the other guys out there may be and how they would work in this system.

It's very apparent by this hire that we're sticking with a 3-4. I don't agree that it's the way to go about it.

Some of the intelligent posters on this board have offered a substantive rebuttal as to why they think a 3-4 is the way to go. You, on the other hand, aren't capable of same so we get the standard pre-teen tripe. Oh well; it doesn't hurt me to watch you expose yourself as a half-wit in one of the more widely viewed threads. That's going to be your cross to bear.

So keep plodding forward in your crummy world of plot holes and spelling errors if you'd like, but please try not to interrupt the adults when they are speaking. And try to dial back on calling anyone an idiot. Literally every single person that has weighed in on this thread is smarter than you.

I do so look forward to your witty retort, though. I'm sure it will be Mensa material.

4 players?

How many good players did DV have on his defense? Jared Allen was about the only big name guy. DJ was okay but average when he first started out.

Just be thankful you aren't seeing assholes like Eric Warfield, Dexter McCleon, Ryan Sims, William Bartee and Eric Hicks on this defense.

I actually like the staff, mix of up and comers and retreads.

A lot of folks speak very highly of Pederson. I'm cautiously optimistic over that one. And in the end, I'd far prefer a little new blood in that role than just giving it to Childress and hoping (worse still, Shurmer).

I like quite a few of the hires, I just do not care for the DC pick. There were a lot of good options out there, IMO.

I still don't see why we didn't kick the tires on Reggie Herring. There's just not a better tree to pluck guys from if you're intent on the 3-4 than Wade Phillips. The guy knows that defense backwards and forwards and he hand-picked Herring to follow him from Dallas to the Texans.

Sure looks like a nice resume to me.
