My T&R (http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/mine)

File this one under a Chief area to watch next season. CBS analyst Boomer Esiason said on his WFAN-NY radio show this week that he would not be surprised if Chiefs (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/12) general manager Scott Pioli hired Bill Cowher to coach Kansas City in 2010. This is intriguing on any number of levels. For starters, Esiason works with Cowher and is familiar with his thinking. Then there is the matter of Esiason also saying that Cowher and Pioli are close friends. Also, Cowher served as the Chiefs (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/12) defensive coordinator from 1989-???91, so he is familiar with the city. And Pioli appears to have been stymied so far in his search for Kansas City's next head coach. Sources around the league insist that Pioli had interest in bringing along Patriots (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/17) offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as his head coach, but Denver hired him. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz also is thought to appeal to Pioli, but the indications are that he is not willing to leave school.

******************************************************
If that article is even close to true, we have Herm for one more season with no assistants. 2009 season will be a throw away year waiting for Cowher.

I believe Cowher has not budged from his position that he doesn't want to coach this upcoming year due to family obligations. If he doesn't want to coach this year, then if you want him, you have to be willing to wait. Its not like Cowher needs the money.

Marty or Cowher will probably equal the same results. He routinely put his team in the playoffs and then would fail. Sure he won one Super Bowl, but they won their division 9 times. Cowher just has a little more luck on his side.

I doubt he's been "stymied" at all.

The media didn't have the foggiest fucking clue when it came to the process in hiring Pioli, no reason to think they've gotten wise to the HC situation.

For all we know, he's talked to a handful of people trying to determine interest.

Senior Bowl week is like a big job fair to NFL coaches. Something will happen this week, IMO.

Cowher is a good coach, he's not Jesus.

No coach in the league is so good that they're worth punting an entire season for, not with a lame duck head coach like Herm still on board. That would create an institutional culture of malaise and failure that would take years to recover from.

Either Herm's your coach and you extend him (in which case I will light myself on fire) or he's not and you fire his ass and get a new guy. If that's Cowher, okay. If it's not, there are a whole lot of brilliant football minds out there looking for a shot at the big chair, go find one.

This entire line of speculation presumes that Pioli is a moron, I don't buy it for a minute.

01-19-2009, 03:05 PM
You can't keep Herm and everyone know you're just stickin' it to him for one year until we get someone else. I think we'll set ourselves back even further if we do this. s*** or get of the pot!

DaWolf
01-19-2009, 03:06 PM
These are the same sources who had no idea what was going on with Clark Hunt's GM search, so they started throwing everything at the wall and seeing if it sticks. Pioli and Hunt don't strike me as guys who are going to start telling people who they want to hire so that those people can blab around it to the world. Ferentz IMHO has always been and will always be a smokescreen...

A lot can change in a year.
He could have a change of heart and we'd still stand in need of a Head Coach.

Fritz88
01-19-2009, 03:07 PM
I honestly have no idea why would everyone bring Ferentz's name up. What's so special about him?

Also, I do not mind waiting for Cowher. But all indications is that Pioli is going to hire a nobody to run the Chiefs (a nobody meaning someone who never worked as a HC)

01-19-2009, 03:09 PM
There was a good chance Pioli had a feeling about coming to KC before Denver hired McDaniels. I think Pioli has his eye on someone entirely different. If he wanted McDaniels he could have probably gotten him to wait a week. If he wanted Spagnolu he could have had him. No way is he "stymmied". He is waiting for something, none of us know what yet, but give it time.

That's my guess. Either that, or someone off the Ravens/Eagles staffs.

Judging by the way they handled Pioli's hiring, the sheer thoroughness of the process, and all the talk about making the right decisions, my guess is they're going to interview everybody on their list before making their hire.

And so the legend begins. "Don" Pioli merely lifts a finger and every coaching prospect in the league turns down certain job offers for the mere chance of a possible interview with the Capo! :shake:


For a team that hasn't done shit in over 30 years, the Chiefs sure have some fans that are full of themselves.

I don't feel like the coaching pool is limited at the moment. Pioli can take his time because he can chose from veteran coach with championships (Shanahan, Gruden, Cowher - to a much lesser degree Bilick, Fassel), and there are still up and comers available (Haley, Bowles etc...). The way I see it Pioli is no need to hurry...

01-19-2009, 03:48 PM
Nobody has a clue what's going on at Arrowhead anymore. The leaks have been patched, and the new leadership of the Chiefs is in control. My take on it is that Pioli is still evaluating the entire team and Herm/staff in particular. Pioli isn't going to wait to fire Herm until he's sure "his guy" is available and lined up and guaranteed to say yes. He's going to evaluate Herm and if he isn't the guy, then he's going to fire him. If he is the guy, then he'll extend his contract. If Herm isn't the guy Pioli wants to build around, he'll then start his search from that point. The word I keep hearing about Pioli is methodical. He's going to do what he feels is right, no matter what the timetable.

If Pioli truly felt Cowher was the guy, then he'd have to travel down to Carolina and make a run at him. If Cowher said no, then you move on to another guy. But I agree with the earlier-stated comment that the next HC probably isn't a rock-star or high profile coach. None of those high profile guys probably want to be a part of a leadership team.

winners have winning records in the reg season, 149-90 and the playoffs 12-9

losers have losing records in the reg season,54-73 and the playoffs 2-4

winners have division championships 8 or 9 fro cowher

losers have are lucky to have 1 edwards

winners have lamar hunt trophies 2 for cowher

losers have none edwards

winners have lombardi trophys

losers don't.


not sayin hes a football god, just sayin you can't argue with his winning ways. its stupid. if the chiefs had that kind of record over the past 15 or so years, we would all be saying that our franchise is one of the top 3 franchised in the history of this game. unfortunately thats not our record.
that being said, i'll buy whatever pioli sells me. other than herm of course.

I forgot in my previous post to list my preferences for Head Coach:

1. Todd Bowles (He is 45, has been under Parcells' tutelage for years, and seems to have a desire to turn around a messed-up team. His experience in Miami helps in that regard, as well.

2. Kirk Ferentz (I realize his age is higher and he might not even want to leave the Hawkeyes, but I think he's a good leader and would have the kind of persona that would make him a very good NFL coach. He's very level-headed, not the rah-rah guy that lots of college guys are.)

3. Leslie Frazier (49 years old, has solid results everywhere he's gone. As Bengals D-Backfield coach, they improved +12 on takeaways, including 20 INT's. As Indy's D-Backs coach, they went from 15th to 2nd in passing defense and was part of the Super Bowl championship staff with Dungy. His work as D-Coordinator with Minnesota has been good as well. I would just question his ability to translate that into Head Coaching skills.

4. Brian Billick (he probably fits into the rock-star category I just said I didn't think would fit, but he's been out long enough now to maybe reinvent himself a little bit. He's well-rounded in his understanding of the league and how offense/defense works, and could excel in his second job much like Belichick did with his.

There are certain people here who simply cannot accept the obvious corruption in the NFL. At first, the blown, game-changing call was an honest mistake. Later, the blown call will be quickly dismissed, since the losing team should have done something else to negate it. At this point, you become a whiner for pointing out the truth. And eventually, it'll be "what blown call?" Then you become a liar for point out the truth.

Of course, the NFL loves these people.

I think these same folks believe in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and that George W. Bush has always had their bests interests in mind.

Cowher is overrated. He's a glorified Herm.

Herm -- 54-74 reg season, 2-4 post season
Cowher -- 149-90-1 reg season, 12-9 post season, incl Super Bowl

There I go quoting stats again... :rolleyes:

Seems like somebody brought this up once before, but what IF Herm stayed thru 09? That'd give Pioli 2 years worth of high draft picks to give to WHOEVER coaches us in 2010. That doesn't suck.

You said this much politer than I could...

Be honest, you aren't going to be happy no matter who they hire, right? I don't think I've ever seen you say anything positive about the Chiefs.

Yeah, he's pretty bitter about hiring any ex head coach.

I dont care who they hire. Its not goign to make a difference if i get all butthurt about it, i have 0 control over it, but Pioli knows what he's doing, he's seen how a top organization is ran. We dont know. lol

is that the only game he coached? are you retarded? outside of that game how did he do?

let me remind you that YOU were the one who based cowher's "greatness" on the fact that he won a super bowl.

and refs in his pocket.

Cowher would be an even bigger failure than Marty if he wasn't handed his championship by the boys in black and white

Cinsistently superior drafting, consistently superior coaching players up to play with heart, 4 AFC title games, 2 Super Bowl Appearances, 1 SB victory. (do I need to remind you that Seattle couldn't run the ball, were held to 1 first down in the first half of that game and couldn't convert on 3rd down the entire Super Bowl).
And he left the program in tip top shape.

Yeah, what a colossal failure Bill cowher is.

What the hell is in the water up there, you all are drinking?

Yeah I could make up excuses too if I had a wet dream over someone. I know its impossible for you to say you wouldn't feel differently if he hadn't won when your so hard for the guy.

205-139-1 overall and 101-58-1 with the Chiefs. He wins but the difference between Marty and Cowher is one won the SB and the other didn't.

How do you know I'm wrong? There is no possible way you can say that without going back in time and Cowher not winning the Super Bowl after 15 years with one team.

That piece was bullshit from start to finish. First of all, Cowher isn't looking for a job in 2009, and that's based on his words not Boomer's. Second, there have NEVER been more experienced, top-end coaches out of work as there are today. That "stymied" comment was just nonsense. I'd take Gruden in a heart beat. Shannahan ain't bad either. The list goes on and on.
