Random Thoughs on DV and other Coaching Candidates

I say DV will end up coaching somewhere else in a couple of years. I wouldn't be all that suprised if he ends up somewhere else next year with all the available openings. In order for that to happen Peterson will have to say what's really on his mind though.

Out of the available candidates the only coach capable of installing a system that performs above the teams level of talent is Mike Martz. :blink: No, I don't want him here either but he took 2 different nobodies at quarterback and turned them into pro bowlers in a year and I guarantee you wherever he goes he will churn out some offense and develop a pro bowl QB within 3 years. I'd love to have a hard nosed defensive Bill Parcells type at HC with a Mike Martz at offensive coordinator but that won't happen.

All the other candidates are just also rans who will do nothing but install basic run of the mill flavor of the week schemes offensively and defensively. Weis, Carroll, Herm Edwards, Childress, blah blah blah. There's a reason why there's such a large turnover at the head coaching position and expectations are rarely met. Every team and every coach does the same basic things. They all have the same amount of money to spend. They all have scouting departments. There are only so many ways to run an offense or defense. There are only so many high level players. There are no miracles.

In the NFL there are only a few coaches who build a team that consistently outperforms their talent level and those that are able to do so do it because of the strength of their "system" or the strength of their philosophy.

The rat is one with that zone blocking offense. Gruden is probably one. Parcells can do it defensively but his offensive philosophy is outdated. Marty can turn a loser into a winner. DV is and has been one but he doesn't have enough control of his defensive staff here. He was forced to let his own defensive staff go which now looks like a big mistake. People in KC have been spoiled expecting a #1 offense and this year they piss and moan but people forget their offensive team is built on rejects, retreads and projects with only 2 sure things (gonzales and roaf). For that offense to be in the upper echelon of the league 3 years in a row is a tribute to the coaches and the system. Bellichik has yet to prove he can do it without 8 or 9 number ones on a defensive football team.

None of those miracle candidates other then maybe Martz have any sort've a strong system in place that will give fans what they want.

I'm surprised nobody mentions Dick Lebeau as a prospect.....or does he even want to be one?
