@ryanscotthall #Chiefs to name Dorsey as GM, Childress as OC.

Pederson could just be looking ahead. Reid could be banking on us being real good, and Chilly being promoted again. Easier to groom Pederson as an OC than as a QB coach... Reid and Chilly will have heavy hands in the offense so it's not like be IS THE OC and will be lost dooming us to a terrible fate. I'm thinking he's more "OC in Training"

He wasn't qualified because he didn't have that kind of experience.
Same thing with Pederson.

You can honestly say that you're in no way concerned about Pederson's lack of coordinator experience at ANY level?

You're oversimplifying quite a bit in order to make your point.
There's quite a bit of difference switching from one side of the ball to another to coordinate and moving from a position on that side up to coordinator.
Yes, in either instance you lack experience, but as a position coach
moving to a same-side coordinator you've built up, for years, your own ideas, theories, ways to teach fundamentals, and ideals on how to do things on your side of the ball. In the vast majority of cases you've spent hundreds of nights lying in bed awake discussing with yourself, "when I run this [defense/offense]..."
I guarantee that as the OL coach, Castillo wasn't nearly as steeped in that mindset, and rather just thought he could do it pretty good, given time and players.

I don't think it's an oversimplification. I think you're looking at the wrong side of it. It should be noted that Castillo has coordinated a defense before. It was high school ball, but he did have that experience. Pederson has NONE. At any level.

Childress did a good job with the Eagles for the most part. I think he would be a good addition.

Asked what the holdup with Dorsey was to my source.

Said it's not really a holdup, they are talking contract and both sides know it will get done.

Also pointed out that the Chiefs were only planning on interviewing Ray Farmer to satisfy the Rooney Rule and Dorsey.

I'll be shocked if this isn't announced Wednesday.

Long week for you so far?

Pretty much. Besides a sick pregnant wife, the paperwork work associated with my job, the students I teach being out of control this week and my old man being sick, I've hounded this poor bastard that gives me info.

Thankfully, he's a pretty understanding guy.

I just meant you thinking tomorrow was WED. But damn, that is a rough week and then some. Godspeed, and thanks for the effort on the updates. Even when they don't work out, it's enjoyable to read.

****. That's crazy that I can't even keep days straight.

So the new word on the DC front is Horton?

It's really not a word. They are interested. Arizona holds all the cards.

I really wouldn't get my hopes up for it though. Source said it's not a strong chance.

Cool thanks.


He'd be my first choice, TBH. I don't really understand strongholding guys like that, especially when you are bringing in a new coach.

I'll tell AZ I'll name my dog Dennis Green if they let Horton come here. That seems sufficient, right?
