...my feelings are tempered till I see significant change on the field.
they bring in a has been, good ol boy network coach, one big damn meh for me.. ...they weren't even competitive this year. Clark wants a better team for the fans? that's great...I want a Championship, and that STILL feels light years away. |

Yep. We're getting a retread. That much is certain.

Clark still gets a pass from me for hiring Dr. Evil. He took his shot and missed. No problem. Now, he wants to dramatically alter the organizational/reporting structure of the Chiefs in order to get more involved. More owner involvement means more accountability ... it can mean nothing else. Basically, Clark has done a remarkable thing here ... don't like the way people are handling things? Change the rules. As for his criteria for the new HC, he's stated it three times without deviation. Never once did he say "retread" or "college coach". I'm liking where Clark is going with this and feel good about his overall position and attitude. I think he's a ton smarter than most people give him credit for. FAX |

There are multiple reasons that Clark is right to land the HC first.
1. As you stated get them early while they are available. 2. Getting them early gives them a chance to organize quickly to get the best coordinators, get a system in place and still have time to evaluate talent before free agency. 3. Having the HC report to the owner draws the owner into the operations and attracts the best coaching talent. 4. The system now belongs to the HC not the GM. This is the best recipe for establishing a long tenure and stability. This is the most critical need the Chiefs have as a coaching staff. No more executing the HC for the GM failures. 5. The GM needs to be after the talent the HC wants not what the GM wants. This puts the HC in the talent selection and acquisition process. 6. Having the HC involved in the draft process makes the GM more effective. 7. The GM is no longer king he is now a peer, which I believe the the most healthy arrangement for the whole team. |

I don't think that's a given at all, Mr. DeezNutz.
Clark said he's looking for someone who's "been involved" in building a winning team. I've listened to (and read) all his interviews, he's chosen his words carefully and not deviated from the script. You can learn as much from what a CEO/Chairman "doesn't say" as you can from the things he does. FAX |

Yes, but fire Pioli now
No reason to wait on firing General Mismanager Pioli.

It's ballsy and gives people what they've bitched about for years ... more involvement from the owner. Clark could have chosen from a myriad of alternative tactics but chose the one that, upon reflection, makes the most sense if fielding a winning football team (in spite of Dr. Evil) is your objective.

I don't believe so at least if you look how the Steelers do it. They didn't hire Mike Tomlin and give him full control, both GM and HC work hand in hand and report to the owner.
