Time to dump Solari for Callahan

[kcfan82]

I hear he's available?

[a1na2]

I hear he's available?

Just .... NO ..... HELL NO!

I'd rather have Jimmy Raye back!~

[SPchief]

Oh hell no. I just got him out of my mind.

[Bugeater]

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Callahan led the Raiders to the 2002 AFC Championship and the AFC West title - the team's third straight - a No. 1 seed in the AFC and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVII in his first season as head coach of the Silver and Black.

Callahan is just the fourth rookie head coach to lead his team to the Super Bowl after guiding the Raiders to the Super Bowl in an NFL-record fourth different decade. In addition, Callahan is the third Raiders head coach to lead the Silver and Black to an AFC West title and into the conference championship game in his first full season (Art Shell, 1990 and John Madden, 1969).

Under Callahan's guidance, the Raiders led the NFL in passing for the first time in team history and led the league in total offense for just the second time in team history. In 2002 with Callahan in his initial campaign as Raiders head coach, the Raiders broke team records for most total offensive yards (6,237), most first downs (366), most first downs passing (226), most passes attempted (619) and completed (418), most passing yards (4,689) and best passing percentage (67.5).

Aside from Callahan's Raiders in 2002, no other team has ever gone through the same season winning games after throwing at least 60 passes (65 on 9/15 at Pittsburgh, 30-17 W) and rushing at least 60 times (60 on 12/28 vs. Kansas City, 24-0 W). In 2002, the Raiders outscored their opponents by 146 points, the widest margin in the AFC and third-widest in the NFL.

Under Callahan in 2002, the Raiders were second in the NFL in scoring (28.1), second in the AFC in points allowed per game (19), third in the conference in rushing defense (90.8), sixth in the AFC in total defense. The Raiders also tied for second in the conference in give-away/takeaway ratio (plus-12) and ranked fifth in the AFC in kickoffs (28-yard average start).

In 2001 with Callahan as offensive coordinator, the Raiders captured their second straight AFC Western Division title, finishing second in the AFC (fourth in NFL) in passing at 231.7 yards per game and fourth in the conference in total offense (seventh in NFL) with 335.1 yards per game average.

ASSISTANT COACHES


Under Callahan's tutelage in 2001, the Raiders allowed only 27 sacks, the least ever in team history in a 16-game regular season as the Silver and Black advanced to the Divisional round of the AFC Playoffs. With Callahan as offensive coordinator and coaching the offensive line, the Raiders led the NFL in rushing in 2000, averaging 154.4 yards per game as the Silver and Black advanced to the AFC Championship game.

In addition, the Silver and Black allowed only 28 sacks in 2000, a team record before the Raiders surpassed that mark in 2001. Prior to joining the Raiders, Callahan coached the offensive line for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1995-97. From 1990-94, Callahan was offensive line coach at the University of Wisconsin. Callahan served a two-year stint, 1987-88, as offensive line coach at Northern Arizona.

Welcome to CPiggy

[a1na2]

Callahan is a loser.

[Easy 6]

As Micjones would say...KILL YOURSELF.

[kcfan82]

Callahan is a loser.

Not in the NFL apparantly, you know they are two totally different styles right?

LOL @ the thought of Solari being a better choice than him ;)

[RustShack]

I think he would be an improvement.

[Easy 6]

If Rich Gannon had been able to call his own plays, the fade might've won the Super Bowl.

That team was SO unprepared for that game, if he's not smart enough to change things enough to keep Gruden & the Bucs from recognizing every single play...he has NO business being an NFL coach.

Not to mention that the team hated his guts.

[Bugeater]

I think he would be an improvement.
Sure, in a "the Ford Escort was an improvement over the Pinto" sort of way.

[kcfan82]

Sure, in a "the Ford Escort was an improvement over the Pinto" sort of way.

You know damn well he was a good NFL OC, don't let what you think he did to NU scorn you.

He's better served being in the NFL.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

You know damn well he was a good NFL OC, don't let what you think he did to NU scorn you.

He's better served being in the NFL.

No, he wasn't. He had an entire year to do things his way and in the Super Bowl, a mic'ed up John Lynch said "Everything they've ran we've practiced for."

It's probably the worst job any coach has done preparing for any big game...ever. If someone can't do a good enough job designing even dummy audibles, they have no qualifications to be an NFL OC.

[Ari ümlaüt]

wow. he was serious. I thought it was a joke.

[boogblaster]

He'd be a aprovement ... we have game-day talent except our Oline is weak ... but no game-day coaching on O ....

[kcfan82]

No, he wasn't. He had an entire year to do things his way and in the Super Bowl, a mic'ed up John Lynch said "Everything they've ran we've practiced for."

It's probably the worst job any coach has done preparing for any big game...ever. If someone can't do a good enough job designing even dummy audibles, they have no qualifications to be an NFL OC.

What's a big game?

As a Chiefs fan, I can't comprehend that term.

[Extra Point]

Callahan rode Chuckie's coattails. Sorry, but he won't work with Herm's theme. Billick, on the other hand, won with Trent Dilfer as QB. That speaks volumes in the anti-arena ball group.

[Bugeater]

No, he wasn't. He had an entire year to do things his way and in the Super Bowl, a mic'ed up John Lynch said "Everything they've ran we've practiced for."

Yep, he's too stubborn to change anything he does at any time.

[Buehler445]

Uhh no. I could give 2 shits less about NU football, but the guy is a worthless waste of space.

[greg63]

Time to dump Solari...

...And Carl, Herm, and that miserable "O" line.






That is all.

[Micjones]

As Micjones would say...KILL YOURSELF.

Thanks for the shout out Free...

I vote "no" too...

[Radar Chief]

What's a big game?

As a Chiefs fan, I can't comprehend that term.

That would be the first round playoff game we can’t seem to get past.

[Rausch]

Callahan is a ****ing idiot. He's as myopic as Martz and every bit as easy to take advantage of...

[Sam Hall]

I don't want to see him ever again

[the Talking Can]

Croyle and Bowe.....and you want to run a West Coast offense?

no thanks

[Garcia Bronco]

You need a new o-line coach?

[xbarretx]

wow. he was serious. I thought it was a joke.

hopefully that tought you a lesson that wont be soon forgotten :P

[Kerberos]

I think he would be an improvement.

As htismaqe (http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/member.php?u=18) would say:

>bad does NOT = good

[FloridaMan88]

Callaloser + Pennington + Herm + Curled Dick Face

The Chiefs would average .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 pass yard per game with that quartet.

[Zouk]

Boooo on Callahan.

My guess would be Pat Shurmur, QB coach of the Eagles. 42 years old and comes from a successful pedigree. Son of Fritz Shurmur. Has been runner-up candidate for a couple of OC positions in the last 2 years (Carolina, Jets) and seems ready for the opportunity.

[alpha_omega]

I'd rather have Jimmy Raye back!~

Or even Hackett.

[Sully]

Callahan didn't even call the plays as an OC in Oakland.

That was Gruden.

[a1na2]

Not in the NFL apparantly, you know they are two totally different styles right?

LOL @ the thought of Solari being a better choice than him ;)


Where in my post did you even consider that anyone said that?

[Wile_E_Coyote]

That bed & breakfast guy is available & Gun could use the bran muffins

[King_Chief_Fan]

What's a big game?

As a Chiefs fan, I can't comprehend that term.

especially after getting throttled at home by all AFCW rivals.
