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. |

Those characteristics don't really correlate to early success as a QB in recent years. So rather than make decisions based on data, he's gonna play his hunch. Fantastic.

The Tampa 2 is obsolete. There are still defenses out there with cover 2 principles that are intriguing. Gus Bradley's under scheme with cover 2 principles is intriguing. So it depends on how married dungy is to a pure Tampa 2. He didn't always run a pure Tampa 2 and maybe his years as an analyst opened his eyes to how obsolete his defense has become.
Again... Not even close to my top choice. But we may not know the exact scheme he will plan to run. |

the only reason people think Dungy was a good coach is because the media painted it that way
I could coach Peyton Manning and win 12 games every year. The only reason people think Tony Romo is bad is because the media paints in that way. The media influences opinion on casual watching football folk. I, for one, like to form my own opinions. Sometimes I am quite wrong. This is why I've always been prone to attack on boards like these because big media and I don't always see the same thing. |

Sure would be nice if the team ownership was actually smarter than the fans. Ownership will be dumb as hell if they even consider this.

Tampa 2 is a dead defense. I want to stay in the 34 but be more attacking. For ****sake we gota make some plays on D, force some fumbles or interceptions, ****ing tackle someone and force a turnover. I dont believe really anything in this article other than the Polian thing. Dungy I dont see coming back but well see. If he did get Norv and let him go with Geno then I think Id be ok. Norv is a good OC not HC

Don't know if Aaron Murray is coming out yet for draft, but Dungy is on record saying we should take him with our number 1 pick if he does.
