As I've said before, I don't like Reid's approach on offense, the general lack of balance, and the fact that he put the game in the hands of a guy that I always considered highly overrated in McNabb.

I also don't generally like the type of defensive players he targets in the draft.

I'd take Cowher because I believe he could lure Chan Gailey back to KC as OC, and I think Gailey, while not a good HC, is one of the very best offensive minds in the NFL.

How?

Brian Billick needs exceptional talent to win. He needs all world players to win. Cunningham was fantastic in Minnesota, he had a stud running back, 2 unreal WRs and a stud slot in Jake Reed.

When he went to Baltimore, he had the greatest defense I've ever seen.

There's also a reason the guy hasn't sniffed a HC job since he was let go from Baltimore over 5 years ago.

Brian Billick is a solid administrator, which I believe is critical to success.

Who he brings in assistents would be critical.

Wow. Who stole the real milkman?

All of this pro bowl talent in KC has been around for awhile now yet we has 5 losing seasons in the last 6 years. And we're not talking about a bunch of 7-9 seasons...usually worse than that.

I like Reid but can't overlook his disasterous last two seasons. Any coach who can't win The SB with the talent Reid had there in Philly is not a good coach.

I give Reid 3 years before he is fired.

The last two seasons are a direct result of him being there too long. If a coach can't win a championship in the first 5 years, it's time to move on.

No excuses. The NFL is a league of "win the big one or you are a failure."

Cowher wasn't coming here, not sure why anyone had an honest belief he would have. He's shown no interest in taking better opportunities and to think he would have come here with the situation being what it is would be foolish.

Brian Billick has zero offensive intelligence. If he couldn't win with the best damn defensive unit in years what makes anyone believe he could do crap with what sad defensive capabilities we have here now?

I think Reid was a good choice...would I have loved to see Cowher? Sure but I'm realistic enough to realize it wasn't a reality.
