If Chiefs go 10-6 Vermeil should come back for at least another year.

[chiefsfan1963]

Even if they don't make the playoffs, if we can go 10-6 with all the injuries DV should go it at least another year to improve on 2005. I know alot of folks here want him gone, but I'm curious if they agree with this condition. Right now I've said I like him back b/c I still think he's our best chance of being a playoff team in the future sooner.

If 10-6 doesn't do it for you what about 11-5 and a playoff game?, 2 playoff games?, getting to the AFC championship game?, Super Bowl game?, World Champion's? Thoughts?

Super Bowl berth would do it for me.

You freakin' dipshit. DV should NOT be back after this year no matter what. 10-6? WTF? 11-5 and a playoff game? WTF? What is it with some Chiefs fans and mediocrity? Yay!!! We're always improving, but never quite there!!! Yay!!!!

Five damn years is enough of this bullshit. I'm sick and tired of losing. Sweet f#ck, what the f#ck is wrong with you?!

[DJorDT]

If Vermail goes 8-8 I think he should come back because he still has not had a full season without a major player being hurt or out. Like PH, RS, Shawn Barber etc. To me he is the best Coach Kansas City has had since the late Hank Stram (Rest In Peace).

THE EVOLUTION OF A COACH

1. Old coach gets fired.

2. New coach gets hired and says "we're gonna do "this" and we're gonna do "that."

3. As long as "this" and "that" is different then the old coaches "this" and "that" the fans get hyped up and say things like "I love this staff", "we're going to the superbowl baby" Rock on!" "now we have this!" Sales of season tickets pick up.

4. If he's lucky, the new coach and his team have success actually changing "this" and "that" and pick up some wins doing so.

5. Fans stay fired up. "Yeah can you believe our (offense/defense/d-line play, secondary, qb play, insert whatever you want etc.), it's so much better then it was when ____ was here."

6. Coach has some success but with each team only having so much moeny to spend there's no possible way to optimize all the possible "this" and "thats" at the same time.

7. Fans don't realize that, they want it all now.

8. Coach says "well we're doing a good job at "this" and "that" (which is entirely different then the last coaches "this's" and "thats") but we need to improve "this" and change "this". We'll continue working towards our goals.

9. Repeat #8

11. Fans get tired of #8 and no that those "goals" will never be reached.

12. Season ticket sales start to decline.

I've been very very loyal to DV up until this year. But... I think it's time for a change..... bring in the next generation HC after this season. It would be perfect timing, as quite a few vets we depend on are planning retirement soon.

I don't think that the team has a better chance of immediate success.

But, depending on the coach, I think the team has a better chance of succeeding in a couple of years, and might be a tougher team in terms of attitude.

This team is a reflection of Dick's soft attitude.

I didn't like the idea of bringing Dick in when he was hired, even before there was any idea of losing picks to hire him, and I will be glad when he's gone.

Until we draft better, consistently, it won't matter...Who the coach is brought in.

[chiefsfan1963]

you are getting away from the options. You telling me that none of the scenarios I mentioned would change your minds? Even going 10-6 and not going to playoffs would make us one of the Top 10 best teams in the league. I think a lot of you are very jaded and don't realize what you have!

Are we really a better team?

Than what?

IMO, the teams Marty fielded were superior to the teams that Dick has fielded, but Marty was his own worst enemy.

There are no guarantees in life, especially in the NFL.

I think there are options available that would give at least a chance to improve.

Mike Trgovic is someone I would consider.

I wouldn't mind giving Greg Williams a second chance in KC.

I've seen Ron Rivera's name bandied about on this forum, and based on what he's accomplished in such a short time in Chicago, I wouldn't be opposed to him.

[Bwana]

No thanks.

Trgovac should be our next head coach...

I'll keep the coach who has coached two different teams/franchises to the Super Bowl and three different teams/franchises to the playoffs which is something only one other coach has done I believe. Those things weren't accidents. DV has his O in place and the QB to run it. IMO to wish for something different is.....oh....well...... not very smart thinking.

PhilFree:arrow:

Seems to me Fimiliarity breeding contempt is hard at work in KC.

PhilFree:arrow:

[ck_IN]

If this team doesn't at least appear in the Super Bowl DV and his crew should slink out of town as quickly as they can.

Every team has injuries, you don't hear them whining about it. The injuries this team have had have been realitively few and with the exceptions of Priest and Roaf they've been minor. Put that crutch away.

The schedule has been middle of the road and many of our tough games are at home. Another crutch in the closet.

CP went on a shopping spree and bought the defense that DV couldn't develop. The offense doesn't have to carry the team anymore. Yet another crutch.

DV has had 4 or 5 years to build and estabilsh his hand picked offense with all of the players and coaches of his choosing. If they aren't doing it the fault lies in DV's mirror. Begone ye crutch.

DV has no excuse. He's had the time, he has his players, he has his coaches, he has a middle of the road schedule. A Super Bowl appearance or begone.

fear of change is doing it's share of work too

[Chiefnj]

The up can coming and successful teams are teams that drafted well. It doesn’t matter who the coach is, if you don’t have an influx of talented youth, you aren’t going to make it.

If the Chiefs were to finish strong and win 11 games (which would include wins against SD and Denver), I’d be open to Vermeil sticking around another year.

I would hope that with the coaching continuity that Green, Roaf and Shields could all hang in for another year. Free agent/draft picks at WR, OT and DL and the Chiefs should be set for a decent run.

I know that if another coach came in you have to realistically give them three years to turn things around.

People say they want to rebuild, but they generally don't accept it when the team is 5-11.

[BigChiefFan]

I think Vermeil deserves to stay. He's done a good job. I've questioned some of his calls, but he knows how to motivate his players. Are there better coaches? Yes, but the team is finally getting some balance on both sides of the ball. It would be foolish to start over again, when we'll probably get minimal, if any, better production next year with a new head coach. The playoffs should buy Vermeil an additional year, IMO.

[Hammock Parties]

D-Line has underperformed from the start, and yet Hairston is still here, along with the other guy who's name escapes me at the moment.

[milkman]

it is all about the draft draft draft. you guys have been attacking me like crazy for my post, but your own are saying it.

And there are those that have told you that we've been saying it for years.

They aren't attacking your ideas, they are attacking the trollish nature that you presented those ideas with.

[5for5SB]

Not hardly. Only 2 to 3 people have given any names or any reasons about the future.

[DJorDT]

I know this is getting off topic but who would you guys rather have. The duo of DT and Neil Smith or the Duo of DJ and Jared Allen.

You should be banned.

That's not a fair question to DJ and Allen at this time.

DJ is a rookie and Allen is only in his second season.

Give them time to reach their full potential, and surround them with as talented group of defenders that DT and Neil were surrounded by, then ask that question.

That being said, there's only about three Chiefs defenders in their history, that I've seen, that I would rather have over DT.

[DJorDT]

Why i think that jared allen will end up being better than neil smith and DJ will be close but yet no where close to DT. I was just wondering as to which combo will end up being better not saying that DT isn't the greatest LIne backer in History of chiefs Football be couse he is.

No.
DT was great, albeit, one dimensional, but Willie Lanier and Bobby Bell were the greatest in Chiefs history.

I'm sorry i forgot about WL and BB I don't know how but i did.

I have not read this thread yet but just having a good regular season record is not good enough anymore...in the least...

Maybe it was good enough after 5 years of not winning a playoff game...hell maybe it was good enough after 10 years...but now? No way.

[htismaqe]

This is the only offense Greens been involved in since he's been in the NFL. Combine that with the fact that he only has a couple of good years left in his career and changing offenses would be wasting his last few years with a learning curve. I believe that would affect Green quite a bit.

PhilFree:arrow:

He played in this offense (fairly well too) in Washington, WITHOUT Saunders or Vermeil.

[htismaqe]

Not hardly. Only 2 to 3 people have given any names or any reasons about the future.

Most people here know that this team can't draft worth a shit.

Doesn't make you any less of a troll, Ken.

So who's the worthy candidate who has experience with this type of offense and/or will employ this type of offense? Or will it be a case of Hiring an HC and then telling him who his OC is gonna be? Martz(Greens OC from when he was with the skins)? No thanks! Uhhhhhh who else? Cam Cameron? Who? I suspect that if DV does indeed retire after this season then Saunders is the most likely replacement. Saunders HC, Gun DC and Jason Verduzco or Terry Shea as the OC. If that's the case then I'd just as soon keep DV as the HC.

PhilFree:arrow:

[OldTownChief]

Not even gonna waste time reading this thread, but put me down for a DV can't get the hell out soon enough.

[Frankie]

Why do people think that if a new coach comes in the team has a better chance of immediate success?
Because the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence!
:shake:
I'm with Chiefsfan1963 on this one. This year injuries have been f%#@ing terrible, and at key positions to boot. And yet we are competing. What key injuries have the Colts had? Or the Donks? DV is doing a hell of a job this year.

We've blown a game we should have won, as the direct result of piss poor coaching.

We should be competeing at a higher level, but for Dick and crew.

From your location I take it that you don't like Marty, which means you probably didnt like Gunther either. I think you also stated you were unhappy when DV was hired. After having three coaches you hate, what makes you think #4 would be to your liking?

[Logical]

Even if they don't make the playoffs, if we can go 10-6 with all the injuries DV should go it at least another year to improve on 2005. I know alot of folks here want him gone, but I'm curious if they agree with this condition. Right now I've said I like him back b/c I still think he's our best chance of being a playoff team in the future sooner.

If 10-6 doesn't do it for you what about 11-5 and a playoff game?, 2 playoff games?, getting to the AFC championship game?, Super Bowl game?, World Champion's? Thoughts?Nope short of making it to the Super Bowl I want him gone.

[BigRedChief]

So 10-6 is a great coaching job? What do you give Chicago? They have no offensive talent. What about the Giants? Bengals? Shanahan took Brown rejects and as of right now making them play respectful.

Lots of good coaching going on in the NFL.

min 2nd round of playoffs for him to be back. Or maybe he be back inlike a transitional capacity. Honestly unless we win out this year, we ain't goin too far in no playoffs. I don't see us goin into indy, or pittsburg, or New england without a team that is just dominating the second half of it's schedule and winning a close game, cause all of these teams are loaded this year.

[bringbackmarty]

of course so am I. (loaded that is)

[Logical]

I don't care how you slice it even if you don't like DV you have to give him some credit if this team finishes 11-5 and makes the playoffs. There has to be some room for you to have him back then. 6-2 for the rest of the remaining games would be impressive. No?No not without a Super Bowl appearance.

[Gaz]

The good news [for me, at least], is that Vermeil will have the Chiefs HC job for as long as he wants it.

There is virtually zero probability that he will be fired, despite the angry and anguished cries of the haters.

Gaz
Hopes DV sticks around for a while.

[Alphaman]

I'll weigh in here. I think regardless of the outcome this year, Vermeil should call it a career. Not because he's not a good coach, but because he won't be a good fit for KC. After this season, the Chiefs begin to rebuild. There's a chance that next year Shields, Roaf, Holmes, Richardson, Kennison, and Browning may all retire. That's alot of Vermeil's leadership. There are other players that need to be replaced on the roster or moved down the depth chart (McCleon, Hicks and depending how he finishes the season, Black).

Vermeil just won't be in the game long enough to do another rebuilding and he's too loyal to make the moves necessary to accelerate that process.

Best case scenario for me is that we go on a run, make the playoffs, get to and win the Superbowl and then Vermeil rides off into the sunset.

My choice for our next HC is Herm Edwards.

Chicago, Giants, Bengals. All teams that have built through the draft with an influx of young talent. None of them have won anything yet, nor are they locks to make the playoffs.

I don't know that DV can walk away from Trent Green while he's playing for the Chiefs either so I think the odds of DV being the HC next year has increased with the passing of Trents father.

id rather KC be crap for 3-4 years than be around .500.Not if Carl Peterson is doing the drafting.

[Calcountry]

I will be happy with Vermeil for as long as he wants to stay.

Content with his HC.
I agree. DV is kind of soft, but he is the best soft coach in the game.

I've addressed this question before.

With Carl doing the hiring, I fully expect to be unhappy about the person he hires.

But I hold out hope that he'll surprise the hell out of me.

As I said before, call me a cynical dreamer.
