Interview over... nothing new learned.

CoMoChief · 03-23-2009, 02:10 PM

What a kickass interview.........lol we aren't going to know shit about the Chiefs until game day.

ChiefRon · 03-23-2009, 02:21 PM

Wow, we learned a whole lot.

- Been great working w/Scott, just like he expected
- Both think alike regarding building a team
- First had to get staff, got a late start, real excited about staff, didn’t think some of those folks would be available
- Now setting up offseason program, starts on Mar 30
- Watching college tapes
- QB will be open competition, may acquire more folks to compete
- Thigpen interesting player, throwing 21 td was not easy, pretty impressive, big upside and could end up being the starter
- Has not met with LJ, but Maurice has talked to him at length
- Clean slate for everyone
- 70 starts from rookies, shows a lot of promise
- No history w/Chan before, when first got job was thinking a new OC would be brought in, but was very impressed after talking with him, share some of the same philosophies
- Going to 3-4 is a major change, and won’t have any chance if they go to it right away, definitely a “gradual transition”
- DBowe has a chance to be elite, sees a lot of similarities with Larry Fitz, excited about “getting after him” and developing him
- Looking for guys that are “all in” with the new philosophy
- Lot of similarities with us & the Cardinals when he got there, not many wins in previous years, not high expectations, and they got to the SB by focusing on developing players
- Never had the goal of being a HC

Blah-blah-blah

Nothing to see here, move along

This is called increasing Thigpen's potential trade value.

That was the biggest surprise for me too, I thought the "competition" statement was just rhetoric, but that's not how he came across today

Said he called Thigpen right after the trade because of the statement by Thigpen's agent that gave the impression he was "conceding" the starting job

Said he told him, "this is truly an open competition and the best QB will start" and Thigpen has a lot of upside and could win the job

Amen. Im givin you rep for this. I had, at one time, hoped Croyle would work out, but I must have forgotten that he's made of glass and toothpicks. I think a competition will work out best for us at the qb spot, just unsure if they will really do that. And I wouldn't get too excited about bringing in other qbs, b/c that could go either way. Anyone know if Croyle will be at camp. Could be Haley was referring to him, and Ingle Martin(?).

RustShack · 03-23-2009, 02:43 PM

Maybe Thigpen will be our QB

We still haven't gave Cassel a number for a contract...

**Buehler445** · 03-23-2009, 02:44 PM

:bs:

If Cassel doesn't start...well...**** it. It's not worth thinking about. Unless he is traded, he is starting.

There would be an epic meltdown here on the planet if Thigpen starts. I like other still think this is HC retoric but who knows?
