This coaching staff

[The Bad Guy]

There's 19 people (not including strength or conditioning coaches) on this staff.

That's an enormous staff.

I don't know what happened to Childress coming on, but I guess there's still room for him.

I can't criticize Clark for being cheap ever again. He's paying Romeo 7 million to sit at home and eat, he had to eat money with the staff contracts that were re-upped prior to last season, paid Pioli between 10-13 million to go away, still may end up paying Haley the 2 million he's owed.

On top of that. Reid is making between 35-40 million on his 5 year deal. I don't know what Dorsey got, but he has a 5 year deal as well. Dave Toub got close a million to be the ST coach.

We have 3 quality control coaches, a stat coordinator on staff, and an assistant special teams coach that's regarded as one of the 5 best ST coaches in the NFL.

I really didn't think Clark had it in him to do all of this and re-shape this franchise in just basically 4 weeks.

This staff went from being a ****ing laughable joke to being one of the deepest with tons of upcoming coaches.

Just remarkable. I really think there should be a collection taken to fly a banner at the home opener thanking for making the change. This guy was ****ing hammered with emails (I sent at least 1 every 2 days), banners flying, radio shows killing him and I think deserves the recognition at the opener. Hopefully SOC can pull something like that off.

I like it that he has decided that method wasn't working and is having the HC report directly to him.

Agree on the banner for he beginning of the season thanking him and welcoming the new staff.

All of this.

I couldnt be more impressed with Clark, he has went ALL IN trying to turn this around, he's done everything we wanted and then some.

He then got out of the ay and gave ***** all the power to make every other decision relating tothis team.

***** was the cheap bastard.

Been saying it all along. Clark isn't cheap. If you want to argue that Lamar was cheap, I'll entertain that argument. But Clark has proven otherwise.

I would never have argued that Lamar was cheap, either.

I would argue that both he and Clark have hired the wrong people, but have never believed either wasn't willing to put the money on the table to support the team.

no right? Just wondering how Clark pools his money for being involved in multisports and if there is any carry over.

Ill preface saying I dont watch soccer, so hopefully someone can educate me on that part.

Guys/families like him don't pool money.

Clark makes a **** ton of money with his private equity stuff. The Chiefs are a cash machine. MLS is in a separate bucket. That's before we even get to their oil/gas interests.

They keep things in separate buckets for legal and tax reasons. If something goes wrong with one, they don't want the other assets to be able to be touched by that.

Clark shoved it up our ass but this franchise still needs to win a playoff game.

And just because Bob Dole saw it while researching something else last week, Mack Brown makes $5,266,667/yr coaching at Texas.

[Mother****erJones]

It's not that Clark or Lamar were cheap, it's that because of our ego driven GMs top players didn't want to come here especially later in Carl's tenure

[Reerun_KC]

This coaching staff will be absolutely meaningless if the dont get a Franchise QB...

They trade or aquire some Broke Dick Asshat from another team to ensure KC stays on the True Fan Quest for 7-9, then they are no better than anything else we have trotted through Arrowhead in the last decade...

Get a QB or GET OUT!!!

[bowener]

I'll donate for an opening day banner. However, I do not believe it should carry the "saveourchiefs" moniker. At the very most "SOC" should be used. It just seems odd that it was promised by saveourchiefs that it would disbanded once ***** was fired, yet it may appear on opening day next season. I'd be ok with it being used as a sign off (pun intended).

Something in this form:

Thanks Clark, blah xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -SOC

And with that, the book on SOC can be closed. From there the creators can evolve it into some other form of team/fan support I suppose. Hell, the Royals arguably need more support than the Chiefs ever did. Of course this is just my (most likely valueless) opinion.

[boogblaster]

yup .....

Well to be fair Clark is probably making half of that back with the money he will save on catering this year.

We'll show up at games. That's thanks enough.

Browns officially fire Dick Jauron, believe it or not

Dick Jauron AP

This seems like far less than breaking news, but I suppose it is.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Browns “officially” fired defensive coordinator Dick Jauron today.

That’s courteous of them, since they hired Ray Horton as defensive coordinator 10 days ago.

Letting Jauron twist for so long seems odd, but anyone who was interested in hiring him knew he’d be available about a week and a half ago.




This might be the hold up with Brad i cant find anywhere that he got fired yet.

[O.city]

Still furious that we missed out on Ray Horton.
