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

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?

Bill Lundberg · 03-23-2009, 02:46 PM

I have a sneaking suspicion that we won't have Cassel signed to a long time deal prior to the start of the season. It makes sense when you think about it.

1. We have plenty of cap space now
2. No reason to pony up until he shows he's not a one hit wonder.
3. Competition makes everyone better. A huge deal would be the drawing in the sand for Thigpen.

ChiefRon · 03-23-2009, 02:48 PM

Yeah I still think it's just rhetoric, but did you also see this?

No Talks On Cassel Extension
Posted by Tom Curran: Monday, March 23, 2009 1:06 PM
DANA POINT - The agent for Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel said there have been no talks about a contract extension for his client.

David Dunn, Cassel's agent, simply stated, "No," when asked if talks had begun.

Cassel, franchised by the New England Patriots and then traded to the Chiefs, brought with him the $14.6 million salary for 2009 that was guaranteed him when he signed the franchise tender.

Given that fat a figure, it seemed reasonable to expect the Chiefs to do something long-term with the quarterback to lessen this year's salary cap hit and sew him up for the future.
