Bruce Arians is off to a rocky, rocky start
I know, I know. I've said a lot about this. But I swear, there's new information in here that hasn't been brought up on CP. Be glad the Chiefs didn't hire him. I give him 2-3 years tops before he's on the hot seat.
Here's what we're learning:
Dare I say... he's about to build Kansas City West? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...out-in-arizona http://www.revengeofthebirds.com/201...s-taking-shape |

Umm... yeah, you jumped on my minor assumption about Childress. Then laughed at the comment that the OP was well thought out. At no point have you discussed the points.
Been a consistent theme across several threads. I'm happy to debate you, and be called an idiot if you disagree. But stick to the points, please. |

Feel free to look those things up. I understand I get shit for dumb comments on a few specific topics. I deserve that. But if you're going to call me a dumbass for what I write, explain why instead of just an unthoughtful "just because." |

Good. Now you're arguing on the points. If you think he's doing what every HC does, then the post is well thought out and challenges you on that. 1. Coaches hire only buddies? Didn't we spend a whole offseason bitching about hiring off of a tree? Reid hired Sutton. Chudzinski hired Horton. Bradley's looking to hire Marinelli. Chip Kelly hired Pat Shurmur. Marrone hired Mike Pettine. Trestman hired Mel Tucker (don't think there's a tree connection). So you're wrong. Arians is the ONLY coach this offseason to refuse to look outside of his own tree. He won't even pull from the GM's tree! 2. Hiring a DC with that much 2-gap experience is unusual. I'll be pissed if Sutton runs that, but doesn't sound like he will. Bowles, on the other hand... it seems likely this is what he'll run 3. Hiring an OC with that much inexperience is unusual but ill-advised for inexperienced head coaches. I get that Reid is doing it, but it doesn't feel at all like it's for the same reasons. The kind of control Arians has asked for has been done and often failed miserably. And again... this offseason, you have strong, opinionated coaches who hired strong, opinionated coordinators (apart from Reid). So it's not common practice at all. |

I was curious and found out Arians was the HC of Temple in the 80's.

They knew what they were getting. If you don't like it, sell your tix and don't make the drive to Glendale.
I bet you could get some good Suns tix now anyway? |

Nobody even remembers what you said about Herm or Romeo. Jesus, self-important much?

Romeo was the only "HC" who would aquiesce to Matt ****ing Cassel being the unquestioned starter of a football team.

No one gives a shit about Arians.
