Cowher plus Geno equals welcome back Arrowhead.

I would be completely on board with going with Chip Kelly or Brian Kelly.
But i also understand that part of this decision is going to be based on "restoring" the fans after what they've gone thru the past 8 years. Right or wrong, I think that will play a part in it. And by hiring Cowher and drafting Geno first overall, that sells your season tickets, just like that. |

He quit after a mediocre season following the SB win, not right after a SB victory. His wife did die 4 years later, but I don't recall cancer even being mentioned at the time. He just mentioned spending more time with his family, but that is a pretty common reason. I could be all wrong, but that is the way I saw it at the time. |

It can be a heavy burden. I try not to let it go to my head.
I'm aware of Cowher's statement. IMO, there's no way he continues to believe that if he comes in as GM [edit: I meant "coach"] with the #1 pick in hand and I doubt that he really believed it at the time.

If it really is Geno, do you think the Chiefs are as convinced as you, to spend their only #1 pick overall ever on him, after not taking a 1st round QB in 30 years? If Geno had half the buzz going for him that Eric Berry did a couple years ago, I would feel more confident, and maybe he will by draft time hopefully. I hope so, but I am not so sure. Could he bust? Hell yes he can. Heck, Joe Montana wasn't even a sure thing, if I recall correctly, he went in the third round. |

The Chiefs are absolutely taking a QB if they have the first overall pick this year. |

The only times I can remember this board being SO galvanized about a single draft prospect were Eric Berry and Derrick Johnson. Look how those turned out... |

Parker, if you knew we would be pairing him with Geno, would you be more onboard for Cowher?

As much as I don't want Cowher, if it was mandated he take Geno I'd support it. Not that that means shit but I think Cowher + Geno is definitely better than Cowher + Rapist.

Well DJ is a pro bowler and Berry is finally catching up to his pro bowl rookie season. Looks good for Geno

Because if the rumors are true, he wants to be in control of Personnel. I'm not really too fond of that; I feel that having a competent GM, Director of College scouting, and Director of player personnel that includes the Head and Assistant coaches within the draft/scouting process is a much better formula, as it provides more ideas and discussion. Granted 1 person has to make the decision but when you get a room of people that are a) close minded or B) too scared to make their opinion heard, then you're setting your franchise back IMO.

If Cowher wants some input, fine, but should be known that he wont' be making the decision. |
