Not a big deal.....

Anyway, that post was part bait and part truth.

I knew that if I said that, someone would come out right away and make some ridiculous, unrealistic call for Scott Pioli or Phil Savage.

The truth of it all is that some people here have a tendency to bitch and moan about the coach, the GM, the gameplan, etc.....but never offer a solution. It is really easy for someone to want Herm or Carl gone, but who does that person REALISTICALLY expect that person to be replaced by?

And my point was proven with the Pioli posts......

Like I said, I can't come up with a realistic repalacement either. (other than Thum/Kuharich) That doesn't mean there aren't qualified candidates from other teams out there, I just don't know who they are, so I try to keep from saying "Fire CP" every three posts.

And also, like I said before, Thum and Kuharich ARE more than qualified, IMO. I just think that things wouldn't change much with them in charge.

Thum won't be the replacement he is the accountant\salary cap genious of the Chiefs. He has no player personnel experience at all. Just read his bio.

I would envision Kuharich or what's his name that went to the Jets from the Chiefs become the GM.

Just say no to Bradway.
Hell, I'd rather keep Carl than hire that guy.

[tk13]

Actually, that was on the little "rumor mill" I posted with the LJ contract rumor.... supposedly Bradway is looking to get back into somebody's front office, thinks he's ready to be a GM again.

That would sound about right... Carl would willingly move into the President's Chair... and hire Bradway to take his place. The circle would be complete.

[dirk digler]

Thanks guys I couldn't remember his name. Tk is right that definitely complete the circle and that is not a good thing. We need a clean start.

F#K keeping Kuharich/Thum on. They are just the same thing as King Carl. What do we gain?

Why not shoot for Pioli? You need to shoot for the best. You can't get the best? Go for the 2nd best. and if your 2nd best isn't better than what you have don't make a move.

You said it yourself, BRC:

Convincing him to leave his father in law and the real cushy NE job would be the hard part

Why would he leave that gig, as a 3 time SB winner, to come here and do the same job? Dude has nothing to prove. It'd be a lateral move.

I just don't think luring a successful GM from another team is gonna happen. They'll promote from within, or hire someone that a lot of fans aren't familiar with. Pioli and Phil Savage are not coming to KC.

I have my doubts that Carl is going anywhere just yet. I think if anything, he might get more input from Clark on operations than he did from Lamar. But I doubt he goes anywhere just yet.

I would agree, Pastor.

We discussed this at great length at one time. Big long thread.
Why would he leave?

• He would leave to get out from the Belicheck's shadow.
• To prove he can build a winner without having Belicheck as the coach.
• He gets a promotion. He's not the GM at NE.
• A boatload of more money. The Hunt's have a lot more money than Kraft and they pay it out to people who make them money.

I just don't see it happening. If it ever did, feel free to bump this thread and say "I told you so"

Found this one:

FTR, I don't think King Carl is going anywhere. I don't think if he does that we would get Pioli. It's just nice to dream.
