I nominate Jeff Fisher as the next head coach of the KC Chiefs. [Archive]

If DV leaves after this season who do you want to take the job?

I've looked at some college coaches and some assistant coaches. But there is one man that stands above all the rest. Jeff Fisher.

Okay, I'm sure its a pipe dream but why the fuk not dream big. We are not some chump job. We have 79k in the stands a rabid fan base.

He's an executive vice president with the Titans but he's taking alot of heat for the downturn of the franchise. Maybe we can lure him away. Ya never know.

Anyway I nominate Jeff Fisher as the next head coach of the KC Chiefs. Can I get a second motion?

More info about our next head coach:
Jeff Fisher's official bio on the Titans website:
http://www.titansonline.com/team/coaches/staff.php?PRKey=1

Jeff Fisher is entering his 11th season as head coach of the Tennessee Titans and his sixth as Executive Vice President. Fisher holds the franchise record for wins by a head coach with 98 victories and has amassed more regular season wins than any AFC head coach over the last six seasons with 61. He ranks third overall in the NFL behind Tony Dungy (64 wins, 30 in the NFC) and Andy Reid (63 wins).

His team’s success over the last six years is unmatched by any coach in franchise history. Fisher led the Titans to four playoff appearances (1999, 2000, 2002, 2003), two Division titles (2000 & 2002), two AFC Championship Games (1999, 2002) and one Super Bowl berth (XXXIV). He has presided over the most victorious (61 regular season wins and 5 postseason wins) and successful six-year period in the franchise’s 45-year history.

Last year, he became the fourth youngest coach (46) to win 90 regular season games since 1960. Only John Madden (41), Don Shula (41), and Bill Cowher (44) were faster to 90 wins. He also ranks second, behind Cowher, in seniority among current NFL head coaches. This year he can become the 33rd coach to reach 100 career wins and ninth among active coaches. He also can become just the 17th coach to reach the mark with one team.

Some Titan fans blame the teams situation on the coach. A couple of Titans BB threads dissing him:

Good luck trying to get him here. Peterson will offer him a HC position, but no way the guy ends up with any executive office position.

Hey I said its a pipe dream but why not dream big?

I don't think there's a fan here that wouldn't want Fisher as a HC. I didn't know he was sharing duties as an Executive Vice President. Knowing that much right there, I can assure you he won't be leaving Tennessee. If he were nothing but a HC, I would jump on your bandwagon and try to get the guy here too, but he's not going to leave that organization when he's an Executive VP.

KC is going to have some cap/money problems next season. So, I really wouldn't be surprised if we went after an assistant coach in the NFL- there's a load of assistants right now who can become great HC's. We wont' get Cowher either, but Heimendinger or whatever his name is- would be a good option. I've been hearing nothing but great things about Singletary and how he's going to be a helluva HC some day- I'd take a chance on him.

I think Fisher's a helluva coach. Cool, too. After all the guys they had to dump, the Titans could have easily challenged Houston for the first draft pick, but they aren't nearly that bad.*

Maybe the salary cap purge he just endured soured him on FO duties, maybe he's ready for a change of scenery after this year, maybe...?

*EDIT Oops, just looked at their stats. They are pretty bad.

Hell, maybe Hermie can find a Jimmy Raye clone to bring in as OC.

Actually if you look back, Carl probably gives the head coaches to much say in the draft picks.

Ryan Sims DV wanted him, Junior Siavii another guy DV wanted, hell you can go all the way back to William Bartee as guys the head coach wanted. Ironically, the 1 guy the head coach didn't want, Larry Johnson, has been the Chiefs best draft pick in quite awhile.

If we hired Jeff Fisher, which Im not holding my breath for it to happen, even though Id love for it happen.

I would bet that Cleveland Browns fans probably were saying the same about Belichick after his stint there.

I'm not suggesting that Greg Williams is/will be as good as Belichick.

I am suggesting, however, that he may be a hell of a lot better than he appeared to be in Buffalo, but was limited by the team.

I'll bet you anything you want to that there is some "out" in Fishers contract. A buy out, something.

Seems that the fans are not happy maybe he will throw his hands up after having to deal with ungrateful fans.

Look at us. 12 years without a playoff win and we still have a rabid fan base. Seems to me that would be much more fun to be a coach for the Chiefs than the Titans.

IF DV retires after this year and doesn't get fired (and there is no indication that he would), there is no way that the Chiefs will bring in any "NAME" coach from around the league.

What we will get is a guy that might be considered a potentially good coach, but it will take him a few years to build into it.

We could always get Chucky from Tampa! Hah!

And that's the problem with that defensive philosophy. It requires too many good and more importantly, expensive, players at too many positions. You need a DT and a DE that can both draw a double team. You need a stud MLB and 2 shutdown corners. One of the reason people are going away from that traditional 4-3 is because it's much easier to run a 3-4 and plug the middle with the fattest sumbitch you can find and rush the passer with a reject type outside linebacker like Steve Foley who you can find very easily and pay 600 K per year vs 20 mil per year for a very hard to find a rare pass rushing end type and a Warren Sapp type 3-technique DT who you need to run that scheme. It's more productive for your team to play cover 2 then piss away 20 mil on 2 shutdown corners since the difference in results with the new rules won't be that much to justify cost of shutdown corners anyway.

shaneo69

11-02-2005, 11:57 AM

Fisher and Cowher are similar to Marty in that they've been with their current teams for over 10 years and still haven't won the big one. No thanks on those two.

Herm? He hired Jimmy Raye and Paul Hackett to run his offense. 'Nuff said.

Greg Williams? His benching of Lavar Arrington was just stupid. I don't want anyone that is too stupid to play his best player.

Cam Cameron? He did a stellar job at U. of Indiana didn't he?

Kirk Ferentz? He brought the Iowa program back, but has he plateau'd?

Weis and Carroll? They've got a good thing going where they're at.

I used to be high on John Bunting, but he has been a failure at NC.

Singletary? Hasn't really made an impact in Frisco this year.

My two choices would probably come down to a current NFL coordinator---Ron Rivera, or a current college HC---Jeff Tedford.

Nice take, although the Chargers did need to go out and draft Shawne Merriman, and the Steelers haven't had a really great defense since Kevin Greene left. A 3-4 defense is going to be better against the run, but you need an absolute stud like DT rushing the passer, or you'll be bad against the pass.

Solid, agreed

Greg Williams, on the other hand, had 2 years, with a bad team with a poor talent base.

He had Bledsoe, Travis Henry, Eric Mould, Peerless Price, etc. I have to, respectfully, disagree with you here. He did not motivate his team to do anything and he also drafted one O-Line dude from texas with the 3rd or 4th pick that year.

I have never thought that highly of Bledsoe.
He played miserably in Buffalo.

Travis Henry...eh.
Solid, but not someone I'd build my team around.

Price, a good #2 receiver in the right system.

First round O-Linemen are still just rookies.

Moulds is the only one of these guys that you have to hang your hat on, IMO.

I sure wish the Patriots had the same mindset as you do, though.

I must have missed something here, are you a Pats fan? I don't get it.

I don't mean that sarcastically, sorry I have taken alot of robitussin today for the cough from hell, and am a little out of it

Anyway, cheers

My point is that Belichick looked like a miserable excuse for a HC in his Cleveland stint.

Hell, I was laughing when the Pats hired him (and that whole Jets situation, too), but he got a second chance, and I ain't laughing now.

Why not?

How about Gun as a LB coach? ;)

you know.
and IF it were to happen gun as a position coach is possible.

and for those who think GW was a failure - i wouldnt go that far, i read that if he were to become a HC again he would be much more hands on in the coaching than he was in buffalo.

I will accept anyone who played on the '85 Bears team, Jeff Fisher included.

People who scream about no retreads forget a few things. That basically means you want a college coach who has no NFL experience at all. If that occurs he has no ties to coaches on the NFL level currently. So then all of the assitant coaches are all college coaches too.

"The following is in no way, meant to be mean spirited"

Nice semantics dude, are you sure you're not TJ?

You didn't read my screaming "NO RETREADS" meaning the sad sack SOB's I mentioned. Mornhinweg as well can be added to that. I understand the Bellichick (spelling?) didn't too well in Cleveland, but he still had an 11-5 season with them. greg (forgot his last name already) sucks as a head guy, he had enough talent to do something in Buffalo, that's my opinion. And the last thing we need is a current failure taking over. I am all for assistant coaches getting promoted, so find me a good one and let them have the job, but none of the f'ing retreads I mentioned are worthy (again, my opinion) of another chance.

So my term, generally used as a generality, was meant specifically for those I mentioned.

carry on.

There are only a handful of college coaches with ties to the NFL, Kirk Ferentz being the obvious example. Alot of the other college coaches won't be leaving unless it's their deam drop, Pete Carroll is the example here. Frank Beamer is a career college coach he'll never leave there.

As far as the comment about Herm Edwards being a poor gameday coach. Have you been watching the Chiefs since Vermiel has been here? They're as bad as anyone with gameday decisions.

When I say no retreads, I mean nobody with ties to any previous KC coaching staff. No Cowher, no Herm, no Al Saunders.

Also, I fail to see how Vermeil's lack of good decision-making somehow excuses Edwards'.

Part of the 85 Bears defense. Current Bears DC, 99-03 Philly LB coach.
Falls under the Jack Del Rio rule, too much upside to pass up on.

He is on alot of peoples radar. With all the possible HC vacancies next season, he is going to swiped up this next offseason. Might as well be us to take a chance on a up and coming young NFL coach.

Have you seen what he has done with the Bears defense? Just second in the NFL in points allowed, third in yards allowed, first in red-zone defense and fourth in third-down defense. Last year, his first year as DC for the Bears his defense broke Bears defensive records. That's amazing considering the defenses the Bears have fielded in past years.

Fisher is a pipe dream so maybe I'll jump on this guy as my 2nd choice :hmmm:
