Chiefs Top DC Candidate - Page 31

**The Bad Guy** · 01-07-2013, 08:55 AM

As I mentioned on this site days before any media last week, the top DC candidate for the Chiefs is going to be Monte Kiffin. He would also bring Rod Marinelli as his line coach.

I've been told it's his job to turn down and they think he wants it.

I think Kiffin has evolved some and doesn't run a straight Tampa 2 anymore, but and the personnel is an interesting fit.

Dorsey would be in huge consideration to be re-signed.

Hali, Dorsey, Poe, ?

Houston, ?, DJ - I think DJ would slide into the Derrick Brooks role.

I hated the hire at first, but I'm not completely against it now. I hate the Tampa 2 defense, but I think Kiffin recognizes he can't run that solely with the offenses of today.

Will be interesting. Just thought I'd share.

If one wants the 3-4, then hope for Horton.

He's struggled lately because his OL is one of the worst in the league.

If they do get Bruce Arians like predicted, they could draft on a guy like Taylor Lewan and that would help them a ton.

They have a solid defense and a QB who has been among the elite before. I'm not counting them out for a minute.

Lewan isn't coming out.

Jauron's a dinosaur.

Are any of those guys linked to Andy Ried from the past?
Mel Tucker might be available since Mularkey just lost his job.

Being linked to Reid shouldn't be his objective.

Finding the best 3-4 defensive coordinator should be his objective.

ChiefMojo · 01-10-2013, 03:15 PM

Tucker is a good DC but yet another 4-3 guy if your counting.

It isn't.

ChiefMojo · 01-10-2013, 03:27 PM

In reality Reid would prefer a 4-3. What he has always run.

I won't argue that.
But every other coach or executives that has been hired or is suppose to be are all coaches that have worked with Andy in one way or another.
So it is no stretch that that pattern will continue.

When did Gibbs and Thomas work with Reid before?

When were those guys retained? Or have they just not been dismissed yet? Surely they won't pick a defensive staff without the DC in place.

Well they are good coaches who have worked in 4-3's and 3-4's, I'm sure they will be alright.

Yeah so...Have they been retained through Reid or have they just not been dismissed yet?

I'm assuming there is a reason he fired everyone but those two so far.
