Polian and Dungy to be new GM and HC?
http://kcsportsnation.com/2012/12/br...h-source-says/
Merry Christmas Chiefs fans, from Clark Hunt. Well, maybe. According to a good source inside Arrowhead that has seen Bill Polian with Clark Hunt with his “own eyes,” if Polian wants the Chiefs General Manager job, it is his. Polian, the former GM of the Indianapolis Colts, would bring his long-time coach Tony Dungy back to KC as the head coach and his son Chris would be the VP and take over when Bill retires. The source also indicates that MOST of the current staff has already cleaned out their offices and three assistant coaches have been told not to make the trip to Denver and that Norv Turner will be the offensive coordinator and Dom Capers the new defensive coordinator. Now, for these two, I’m a bit more skeptical. Turner is currently the head coach at San Diego, and although he is expected to be fired, his committal to a lesser job right off the bat is questionable at best. That said, the ship on him being a head coach has sailed. Capers, is the current defensive coordinator for the Packers, a team that will be a Super Bowl contender every year for the foreseeable future, so why would he leave? $$$? Capers’ name is also out there as a potential head coach if Dungy elects to stay retired, which would be a God awful hire. He is 48-80 in eight years as a head coach at Carolina and Houston, where he made the playoffs once, advancing to the NFC Championship game at Carolina in 1996 after winning the NFC West. The source is a good source, but like anything else, Polian may or may not accept the job, and the same goes for Dungy. But, if this does come to fruition, wow. Another Festivus Miracle! *** Dungy was a defensive backs coach in KC under Marty Shottenheimer from 1989-91, before moving on to Minnesota to be the defensive coordinator under Dennis Green before turning around the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then the Colts. Dungy has been out of coaching since 2009. Polian was the General Manager in Buffalo from 1986-1993, where he took over a team that was coming off back-to-back 2-14 seasons. Polian won the NFL Executive of the Year Award twice in 1988 and in 1991.He was fired following three straight Super Bowl losses. Two seasons later, he was the GM of the Carolina Panthers for four seasons through 2007, where Capers was his head coach. He then moved on to Indianapolis, where he was President and eventually Chris was the GM. Polian was fired by owner Jim Irsay after the Colts finished with a 2–14 record in the 2011-2012 season, where Peyton Manning missed the season with injury, which begs the question, were Dungy and Polian as good as their QB was? Stay tuned. |

Perhaps. I just thought watching Dungy-Meeks defenses was as bad as watching Robinson and Gunther defenses. It seems to me that Polian-Dungy underachieved given winning the lottery with Manning. How one wants to allocate blame between the two I really don't care.

Dungy is a professional. He's not BB, but he would be a solid hire. What's more is that he is respected by players around the league. If we're going to make ourselves into a franchise that can attract free agents, we have to start somewhere.
I wouldn't be doing backflips over the hire, but I'm more positive than negative on it.

how anyone can interpret hunt's smile as some sort of dis on piholi is beyond me. plain as day, hunt, donovan & piholi are having an amused conversation of pleasantry. If piholi wasn't such an insecure douche, I would hold some hope this trio has conceded and is simply enjoying resolve's end. but, I do not because piholi has been so disingenuous in the past -- he would be stomping his feet in privacy, not walking along the sidelines and joking with men of the gridiron.

Brain fart. I meant to say Pittsburgh and Minnesota. But he also is versed in Marty's defense and cowhers defense when they were in kc.
People trying to discredit him as a terrific defensive mind are outside of their minds. He is one of the most well respected defensive minds in the game. The question is if his philosophy will change as times change. We won't really know until we saw what he does in his return. |

For a franchise in disarray, there is an argument that Dungy would be a stabilizing force... that being said, I'm not sure if he wants to get his hands dirty with a five year rebuild. He is the Pope of the NFL, makes a lot of money in TV and is universally respected (except by the football experts on this board).

Dungy? No ****ing thank you.
What the hell is wrong with some Chiefs fans that they're trying to justify what would truly be a terrible hire? |
