Lesson Learned: Clark is Right to Land HC First

[Ace Gunner]

Here's a thought; Pioli is protected by buttbuddy Hunt and they hire another Pioli crony HC, grab a QB to compete with Matty C and they all ride into 2013 together.

I don't know man. I just can't work up enough angst to actually care. After the last couple of days, I am not even anti-Cowher anymore.

Hell, he could hire MARTY and I would probably be fine with it.

My fandom has finally jumped the shark.

...my feelings are tempered till I see significant change on the field.

they bring in a has been, good ol boy network coach, one big damn meh for me..

...they weren't even competitive this year.

Clark wants a better team for the fans? that's great...I want a Championship, and that STILL feels light years away.

Of course not; you understand how silly it is to be OK with Billick and not Cowher.

I never said I was OK with Billick.

I said if I was forced to choose between eating cat shit or dog shit, I'd take Billick.

It's looking like we're going to have to be OK with one of them. Not a lot of other realistic options.

I tend to agree with Deez. Clark seems like a very calculating and conservative businessman. I'm thinking he's got his man and now it's a matter of contractual bs and deciding what to do with Pioli. If not, we're in deep shit because that would indicate Clark is clueless.

I tend agree as well. Or at least hope this is the case, because the alternative is ****ed.

So using some good old fashioned common sense, Clark has pretty much put his eggs in the Bill Cowher, Brian Billick or Jon Gruden basket, yes?

There are multiple reasons that Clark is right to land the HC first.
1. As you stated get them early while they are available.
2. Getting them early gives them a chance to organize quickly to get the best coordinators, get a system in place and still have time to evaluate talent before free agency.
3. Having the HC report to the owner draws the owner into the operations and attracts the best coaching talent.
4. The system now belongs to the HC not the GM. This is the best recipe for establishing a long tenure and stability. This is the most critical need the Chiefs have as a coaching staff. No more executing the HC for the GM failures.
5. The GM needs to be after the talent the HC wants not what the GM wants. This puts the HC in the talent selection and acquisition process.
6. Having the HC involved in the draft process makes the GM more effective.
7. The GM is no longer king he is now a peer, which I believe the the most healthy arrangement for the whole team.

No reason to wait on firing General Mismanager Pioli.
