The Chiefs still don't have a freaking College Scouting Director to replace Emery. This organization is a disaster zone. You can't help but wonder if that spot's vacant because nobody wants it. |

I know. That's ****ing tragic. Embarrassing. Apparently no one wants to work with Pioli, and as we saw in 2009, Pioli doesn't know jack shit about the college game anyway - when it was supposedly his specialty in New England.

Well, that shouldn't be his job. A guy like Emery and Dimitroff is really, really important. Pioli doesn't have time to individually scout players. He needs a guy underneath him to do all the in-depth scouting and give Pioli the sound bytes. This is a pretty big miss not to have a guy like Emery and you can't help but wonder why it's vacant.

On Sunday night, Cris Colinsworth made an interesting point about who makes good head coaches. Pointing at John Harbaugh, he mentioned that hiring a ST coach makes sense because they have a broader grasp on the talent on the roster. I would add to that the fact that it seems like hiring a "defensive" coach or "offensive" coach just brings a lack of balance.
That said, who are some of the bright ST coaches out there? DeCamellis? I'll say this about the Chin: He's not my favorite, but if anyone understands the core aspects of "The Chiefs Way" (dominant at Arrowhead, intimidating defense), it's him. I still like Rob Ryan, Jay Gruden, and David Shaw. Other than that, I'm open. |

I tossed out The Chin's name because Clark is going to want to get a "known commodity" after the epic fail of Pioli.

Sometimes we pay too much attention to X's and O's. Really what you're looking for are guys who know how to motivate a team. Rex Ryan is a classic example. Unbelievable with X's and O's. Terrible motivator. Mike McCarthy and John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin -- pretty average track records before head coaching. They're all terrific coaches.

McCarthy's done it all, from college to positional coaching to coordinator to head coach. His record was certainly better than "average". The Harbaughs come from a coaching lineage and I don't think anything about Jim or John screams "average". |
