Chiefs Cowher and Gailey connection - Page 2

StatCat · 01-29-2009, 08:58 AM

Cowher has been quoted as saying that when he gets back into to coaching that one of the first assistants he is going to contact in Chan Ggailey to be his OC.

He has also been quoted as saying that he does not want to coach again until the 2010-2011 season.

I wonder if Pioli has approached Cowher with the scenerio of signing on now as the Chiefs coach in 2010 with Gailey as his OC. Gailey would serve as the interiim HC for the 09-10 season. Cowher would be involved in putting together the coaching staff along with Gailey and then sit back and let Piloi and Gailey take the lumps this year as the Chiefs try to move ahead in the rebuilding process.. You make Gailey one of the higest paid OC in the league, he gets to work along side his friend (Cowher) and together they build another Super Bowl team.

In this scenerio I see the Chiefs going back to the 3-4 which Cowher and Pioli are used to running. Perhaps they could get Romeo Crennel to be DC.

If we do choose to hire a Lame Duck HC for the year to wait out (whatever) guy we really want I think Gailey is an excellent choice.

And thank all saints and candles I've prayed to in the past week to banish Herm and replace him with a visionary staff...

I talked to Bill Cowher tonight

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was at the Wake Forest-Duke basketball game in Winston-Salem tonight. *Wake won 70-68!!!
As the game ended, he walked in front of me, and I asked him to please help the Chiefs out... he replied with an

"we'll see buddy...we'll see..."
and went on his way.

I put my word in.

It really is true...I intern at the games and he was getting an escort through the tunnel because he was being mobbed everywhere.
(They all want him to coach the Panthers here)

I saw an oppurtunity and took it. Nice guy, wasn't sure how he would handle it.

My school consistantly plays against his daughters in sporting events...so we often see him at my schools home gaes anyways.

this was from WPI...so take it for what it was worth

If he didn't talk to Cowher's son at a Denver mall, I refuse to believe it.

If it happens it won't happen till next year

kstater · 01-29-2009, 11:17 AM

Why would Gailey agree to be head coach for a year then get fired as head coach then agree to be the O.C. for the new coach?

Good question. But if he does well, this can open up many opportunities for him to be an HC candidate for other teams.

Theoretically, it sounds reasonable.
But....as i thought about it, i kept coming back to this.

Balto · 01-29-2009, 11:27 AM

It would be great if this happened. It would also piss me off at teh same time!!!! I mean cowher is my first choice for us BUT if he wants to sit back and is ok with wasting a year and maybe even hurting the Chiefs because he doesn't want to coach this year then maybe it would be best if we looked else where.

That being said I think Gailey WOULD go for this IF it was the plan all along. Instead of making him HC without him knowing Cowher will take over next year. Plus I don't see anyone taking just a 1 year contract unless they have been told Cowher will be HC in 2010 before hand.

But again I would think Pioli would of come out and already made Gailey HC if this was going to happen, but maybe Pioli is still in talks with Cowher and Gailey is his backup?

Sorry to be the killjoy here but IMO if the Panthers are going to make a change I would think they would do it right before he (Cower)becomes available and Fox is ripe to get ousted soon and possibly after next season.

I can see Cower taking over a team with a defense like what they have AND he would be close to home.

In this highly hypothetical scenerio, Gailey would agree to this because:

1. He would made a load of $$$$
2. He'd get to work with Cowher in 1 year and keep making a load of $$$ as an OC.
3. The alternative would be to be the OC for Haley this year and into the future for less $$.

If the Chiefs want to make a huge splash and land a coach as good as Cowher than this outside the norm thinking is the way it will have to happen. He is pretty adamant that he does not want to coach next season.

Because that conveniently fits this system of reasoning.
