"Choosing a head coach is a lot like choosing a man. At any given time, in any given arena, you're faced with a list of real choices. How you pick is usually dependant on where you are in life and where you want to go. The goal is to find a Mr. Right, or settle for a Mr. Right Now."

I asked a male, "What do you want in a head coach?" To which he replied, "A winner."

Personally, I like a charismatic coach. I like a few nonsensical ramblings tossed in with the meat and potatoes of blame and glory. What can be better than Herman Edwards' introductory press conference story about a Baptist Church and 7-11s? The blame will come as he starts shaking up our beloved Chiefs. The glory will come next year. I hope for a winner, too.

We must have heard his professional history a million times by now. Certainly it seemed every person that steps up to the podium has to regale us once again. So here it is short and sweet. He went from playing for Vermeil to succeeding Vermeil in 20 years. With some stops in between as a college coach, a scout, an assistant coach, and his stint with the Jets, the members of the Chiefs organization somehow only being two or three degrees of separation from him at all times.

Gah, another tedious "from a woman's perspective" article.

[nychief]

who gives a shit what these people think?

[jAZ]

So who is this?

[jspchief]

Seems to be well received so far. ROFL

Actually, from what you posted, it appears to be very well written, which in itself is an aberration for WPI.

[the Talking Can]

I don't know who she is.

If she's naked right now though, I love her.

[jspchief]

Wait...does she wear a red bikini?

[shaneo69]

luv2rite?

[Imon Yourside]

who gives a shit what these people think?

Jimmy Raye and Kurt Schottenheimer come to mind. :drool:

[jspchief]

luv2rite?Great guess. My money's on that.

[Phobia]

I don't know who she is.

If she's naked right now though, I love her.

I think she is probably naked right now.

luv2rite?

That shirtless Boome Grigsby reference make me think of kcchieefsqt.

I didn't actually click on the link to read the article once I saw it was written by a chick.

[Hammock Parties]

So who is this?

It's my new pen name.

[milkman]

I didn't actually click on the link to read the article once I saw it was written by a chick.

I decided to read the rest of the article after reading your guess that it was written by Luv2Rite to see if I got that same sense.

The first couple of paragraphs didn't give me that sense.

[Boozer]

I don't think enlisting chiefs4me as a columnist is the best business move....

[Katipan]

Gah, another tedious "from a woman's perspective" article.

ROFL ROFL

These posts are funny back to back.

[Eleazar]

It's not poorly written, and it's worth what it's worth as a 'from a woman's perspective' piece and as the viewpoint that someone may prefer an charismatic coach to another type.

I don't think there is any cause to compare it to something chiefs4me might write.

I can see it now...

Choosing a head coach is a lot like choosing a man. At any given time, in any given arena, you're faced with a list of real choices. How you pick is usually dependant on where you are in life and where you want to go. The goal is to find a Mr. Right, or settle for a Mr. Right Now.

I asked a male, "What do you want in a head coach?" To which he replied, "A winner."

Personally, I like a charismatic coach. I like a few nonsensical ramblings tossed in with the meat and potatoes of blame and glory. What can be better than Herman Edwards' introductory press conference story about a Baptist Church and 7-11s? The blame will come as he starts shaking up our beloved Chiefs. The glory will come next year. I hope for a winner, too.

We must have heard his professional history a million times by now. Certainly it seemed every person that steps up to the podium has to regale us once again. So here it is short and sweet. He went from playing for Vermeil to succeeding Vermeil in 20 years. With some stops in between as a college coach, a scout, an assistant coach, and his stint with the Jets, the members of the Chiefs organization somehow only being two or three degrees of separation from him at all times.

All I can really ask from Coach Herman Edwards right now is just enough emotion to make me not pine for Vermeil. I want just enough confidence to melt my fears of change. I'd like to see the passion evident in a dedicated man. Enough casual arrogance to make me believe that he has the stones to do what is necessary. And I wouldn't mind an 8x10 of a shirtless Boomer Grigsby.

There is time enough for him to pull out a map and show me the path to the Promised- Land. I will be amongst those clamoring for a detailed analysis of why the Chiefs haven't gotten it done, and what he's going to do to fix it. I'll give him his honeymoon phase to settle in and get the players to buy into his philosophy. Then I want to hear blame and justifications. I want fire and brimstone.

The man took the Jets to the Playoffs almost every year he was their Head Coach, except for this year. And I'll happily shift the mountain of excuses to perch his loss of his two starting quarterbacks on top as the reason for his failure. Of those five playoff games, he helped the Jets win two of them. Our Chiefs haven't won a playoff game since 1993. I wasn't even a glimmer in my father's eye when they won their last Super Bowl.

Sometimes all it takes to get the most out of a man is a change of scenery and a new set of tools. He's inheriting a Hemi powered offense and an improving defense that is sick of making highlight reels for the other team. I believe our Trent Green led warriors will stop Edwards from being too conservative. I believe any defensive minded Head Coach would make an immediate positive impact on this defense. Hey, how could he not?

His detractors like to belittle what accomplishments he had. They'd rather poke fun at how he manages a game, and how tight fisted he is with his offense. Of course, he's never had the cohesive awe-inspiring offense that he has now. But I guess it's far more enjoyable to declare a man a failure at a task he hasn't even started yet, than appreciate the tangibles we know he brings us, and the dream of new ones to come.

Yes I wear rose colored glasses. But I'm a girl. I can do that.

I generally wait for a guy to do something unforgivable before the desire to boot him becomes fully cognizant. As such, I think I'll treat Herman Edwards like any other man. Well… If he brings me a Super Bowl, he can skip buying me dinner.

[Iowanian]

I want that perspective on football, about as much as I want advice on the g spot from gochiefs.

If you wanted an interesting broad's opinion, you should have just paid mer "premium" prices for her thread last week.

Oh babe. What if I promise to write a special one geared towards a target audience of assholes? There will be lots of insults, sexual innuendo, and sister fister cracks.

Will you love me then?

[Iowanian]

Will you promise to say that I'm only mean to you because I hate women and you pitty my wife?

That would be great.

My guess would be Siberian Khatru.

[RealSNR]

Karen Christie? Isn't she that homely female professional pool player with the glasses who always loses to Jeanette Lee?

[Hammock Parties]

I better get my f*cking calendar.

Tuesday - Jeanine
Wednesday - random fat chick from the bar
Thursday - Call Jeanine again. If unavailable, take three tylenol PMs and try to jerk off before falling asleep. Either way, I win.

Hmm. Was it Denise?

[chiefs4me]

She's a great writer. Plus she would attract a lot of mullets and camaroheads to the site, don't you think?

Are you saying you have a mullet? I'm talking about the Chiefs fan stereotype. I don't know what you're talking about. Please don't wreck my thread.
