Chiefs Coach Versus GM - which is more important? - Page 4

Let's assume that we can avoid hiring two duds, but that we also won't get two Einsteins.

If one of these two hires is "very good" and the other is "mediocre", which would you rather have as the "very good" one?

I think that you should be both the head coach and the GM Rain Man!

I'd rather have a Very Good GM and Mediocre head coach.

Hmmm, the first option is Turner coaching AJ's Chargers and the second option is Marty coaching Peterson's Chiefs. If I absolutely had to choose, I would take the head coach.

As I've said elsewhere, if you have the chance to draft a potential future franchise QB, you take him.

Miami spent a high 2nd on Beck the year before. Hi draft position mandates what they do. They probably want to groom him (Beck) a bit and then see if he's any good before spending the number 1 overall pick on a QB. Parcells spent a good deal of time with Romo (undrafted, IIRC) before letting him start- I imagine Beck will get at least that.
