Glazer: Haley new HC!!

[KC4EVER]

http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/9187366/Sources:-Chiefs-offer-job-to-Cards'-offensive-boss


The Kansas City Chiefs' long road to finding a head coach has just about come to a close.

FOXSports.com has learned that the Chiefs offered the position to Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley and he has accepted. They are now trying to work out terms of a contract agreement.

Haley interviewed for the position earlier this week and a Cardinals player at the Pro Bowl told FOXSports.com Haley was scheduled to arrive in Honolulu for the Pro Bowl Thursday as a guest of Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald, but canceled at the last moment because of the Kansas City job.

"He's going to be a big loss for us," another Cards player told FOXSports.com.

A different Cardinals player said, "He was really liked in the locker room, because we felt like he was always trying to figure something out for us for Sundays. He never stopped."

Haley called the plays for the high-flying Cardinals offense that shocked the world by not only getting to the Super Bowl, but nearly winning it last Sunday.

The guy has been around some of the best minds in the entire NFL. I don't give a shit if he called plays for one year or one game, you don't have to call plays in order to be a great head coach.

By your theory, Tony Sparano and Jim Harbaugh should have never been given a shot because they didn't have experience "calling the shots".

I also don't care that he got into a shouting match with Boldin. I think we've had too many head coaches around here to baby players and back down from them when push came to shove.

I think Haley is a very good choice.

There have been some eyebrow raising stories come out about Haley's temper, for sure, but the most positive thing I can say right now is that he's not Herm.

I bet your crying yourself to sleep at night over these changes... Gone are the days of mediocrity and hope for 9-7....

IF we draft a QB at #3, will you promise to leave forever?

I am happy to hear the Chiefs may actually hire someone in the near future. I am not 100% sold on Haley, but I trust Scott Pioli.

I am all for blasting through mediocrity. This team has a great group of young talent to build upon. They have had three good drafts, and Pioli should add to that.

I am fine with taking a QB, if Pioli decides to do that. But, Pioli drafted Brady in the sixth and Casel in the seventh. I am not 100% sure he is going to draft a QB #3 overall.

I hate the fact that it is February and we haven't put our staff together yet.

I am HOPEFUL, that Haley is comfortable with Gailey, and that he is comfortable with Romeo and the Chiefs can get him as the DC.

By the way, you are free to ignore my posts. I doubt I leave.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

God I hate that argument. The shit is getting really old.

Yep, they had Bledsoe when they took Brady in the 6th, so it wasn't like they drafted him to be the man. Kind of lucked into him you can say and pretty much the same with Cassell. I think Pioli understands the value of the QB position and if he deems Stafford or Sanchez worthy he will pull the trigger no doubt about it.

[DeezNutz]

With the personnel we have, Martz is not a good fit. I wouldn't shed a tear if he was hired, but I don't think he meshes well.

Saunders might come back, but I can't see it happening. I think Haley will want to bring someone he has a history with.

I don't want Martz anywhere near this franchise unless he's granted supervised visits with our newly drafted QB. Groom him, train him, educate him.

But someone would have to watch over Martz like he was ****ing Hannibal Lector.

I want no part.

Same thing with Saunders. With an air-tight ship, the last thing we need is to bring back someone who needs his ego stroked by the media.

Totally agree about Gailey. I think he's a good coach, but I don't want our new HC "saddled" with anyone.

[milkman]

God I hate that argument. The shit is getting really old.

But....but.....Pioli can find a HoF QB in the 6th or 7th round every year.

Are you fucking moronic? 3 good drafts? If you think the first draft was good, then you are a true fanboy of the Herm way of doing things.

Hali is nothing more than an average DE, who has maxed out. Pollard is a glorified special teams player. So that leaves Jarrad Page, who is a decent player.

This team has had 1 very good draft, 1 decent draft (any draft with Turk McBride in the 2nd round can't be classified as good), and 1 pretty subpar draft.

If it comes true, I willl look you up and give you your due.

But, I can't see it happening.

Look at the Chiefs WR corps. It doesn't fit what Saunder or Martz does. If you look at the routes that the Cards ran, it fits what they did.

I wanted to see Cowher or Shannahan here because I thought that Gailey did a nice job. Plus, the Chiefs prevented him from interviewing with the Bucs, and to fire him at this late date would damage the Chiefs reputation in the league.

So, I think Gailey is back with the team. I hope that he and Haley can work well together. But, I wish this had all happened sooner so that the Chiefs would have had their pick of coordinators.

FOXSports.com has learned that the Chiefs offered the position to Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley and he has accepted. They are now trying to work out terms of a contract agreement.

Haley interviewed for the position earlier this week and a Cardinals player at the Pro Bowl told FOXSports.com Haley was scheduled to arrive in Honolulu for the Pro Bowl Thursday as a guest of Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald, but canceled at the last moment because of the Kansas City job.

"He's going to be a big loss for us," another Cards player told FOXSports.com.

A different Cardinals player said, "He was really liked in the locker room, because we felt like he was always trying to figure something out for us for Sundays. He never stopped."

Haley called the plays for the high-flying Cardinals offense that shocked the world by not only getting to the Super Bowl, but nearly winning it last Sunday. ESPN also just announced this :clap:

Yep, if they knew Brady was so good, why wasn't he starting earlier. Also, they draft a QB almost every year, how many of those have reached the pro-bowl? If there is a QBOTF at #3 ... take him. He will be a surer shot to be good than a 6th. round pick.

[SenselessChiefsFan]

He also had Drew Bledsoe in his freaking prime. Bledsoe was an amazing QB, and he mentored Brady for a year. We have nothing like that.

Didn't say he wouldn't draft a QB... just said not sold he WILL draft a QB.

QB is perhaps the biggest hit or miss position in the first round. I have no problem drafting a QB, but to force the issue is not smart.

I would probably prefer Crabtree, but I am more of a draft BPA. And, I think Crabtree is the best player in the draft. Drafting Fitzgerald at #3 worked pretty well for the Cards.

Then, the NFL will prohibit any major personnel announcements during the week of the combine.

Then we'll sign the last person who hasn't said they are not interested in the job.

Then we'll turn our attention to DC.

We should have our staff in place before training camp.

Every one's head will explode.

No one will be left to watch the Chiefs win SB XLIV

I won't believe it until the Wargarbage Illustrated staff reports "Todd Haley will not coach the Chiefs"

Nick has already said that several times.

[The Bad Guy]

Didn't say he wouldn't draft a QB... just said not sold he WILL draft a QB.

QB is perhaps the biggest hit or miss position in the first round. I have no problem drafting a QB, but to force the issue is not smart.

I would probably prefer Crabtree, but I am more of a draft BPA. And, I think Crabtree is the best player in the draft. Drafting Fitzgerald at #3 worked pretty well for the Cards.

If you are sensible, then gochiefs is Lexington Steele.

Fitzgerald is NOTHING like Crabtree. Fitzgerald has better hands, runs 100x better routes, and didn't play in a run and shoot offense in college.

[The Franchise]

Crabtree is not Fitzgerald.

There is a reason that Crabtree isn't going to run the 40.

FOXSports.com has learned that the Chiefs offered the position to Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley and he has accepted. They are now trying to work out terms of a contract agreement.

It's incredible to think that there's no more Good Ole' Boy network with Carl bringing back all his cronies from the USFL, UCLA, the Philadelphia Eagles or former coordators or scouts to run this team.

We now have a fresh, successful face in the front office, and an exciting, new, young HC to guide this team for the foreseeable future.

It's about as exciting of a time as I can remember as a Chiefs fan.

[DeezNutz]

Where's the StarTrek gif?

[Fritz88]

What a ****ing lame ass argument this is.

The guy has been around some of the best minds in the entire NFL. I don't give a shit if he called plays for one year or one game, you don't have to call plays in order to be a great head coach.

By your theory, Tony Sparano and Jim Harbaugh should have never been given a shot because they didn't have experience "calling the shots".

I also don't care that he got into a shouting match with Boldin. I think we've had too many head coaches around here to baby players and back down from them when push came to shove.

I think Haley is a very good choice.

Now on to the coordinators.

Being around great minds is a plus but it does not give a free pass to be guaranteed success!!

I like Haley, but what are the serious jobs that he had beside two years with the Cards?!! where in the first year, Wisehunt called all the shots.

So his resume to me is only one year as OC with the Cards and he did a good job but that is not a measure of someone's ability to be a HC.

All I am saying that it's more of a gamble than safe choice. I like what he did in the past season and especially in the SB. But I am also keeping my fingers crossed.

He was the WR coach of the Cowboys, Jets and Bears. Pretty much all of those teams had success while he was there. He learned under Bill Parcells, who has produced enough successful assistant coaches in this league.

Again, I don't give a shit about calling plays.

[Hammock Parties]

[EyePod]

He had spurts where he played well, but he's not consistent enough.

All stems from bad coaching and no pass rush. It leaves the secondary out to dry when they are the ones that have to stop the fucking run. BP had the most tackles on our team. Why the fuck did our SS have the most tackles? BECAUSE WE HAD A CRAPPY DLINE. That's why. I don't think BP is a problem for this team right now.

[DeezNutz]

No, Frank, I won't.

I had no clue Haley was going to be the Chiefs' head coach.

:clap:

[SenselessChiefsFan]

Are you ****ing moronic? 3 good drafts? If you think the first draft was good, then you are a true fanboy of the Herm way of doing things.

Hali is nothing more than an average DE, who has maxed out. Pollard is a glorified special teams player. So that leaves Jarrad Page, who is a decent player.

This team has had 1 very good draft, 1 decent draft (any draft with Turk McBride in the 2nd round can't be classified as good), and 1 pretty subpar draft.


Just remember how 'bad' Hali, Pollard and McBride were in your mind in 2009. Seriously, I think you will see what Kuharich and Herm saw in them. Hali wille even better in a 3-4 as an OLB. McBride fits well as a penetrating DT, or he also fits as a 3-4 DE.

The Pats liked Pollard too. I have a feeling that if he were playing there, he wouldn't be cosidered a bust. But, EVEN if he is just a very good special teams/situational run stopper..... that isn't a 'bad' pick. You don't hit home runs on every pick. The important thing is to avoid the Siavii, Sims, Kris Wilson picks.

Chiefs have more young talent than they have had in 10 years. That is a step in the right direction.

I am glad Herm is gone. But, I give credit where it is due. I wish Cowher would have taken the job this year, honestly. I hope that Haley is the answer. I am afraid he is the next Gunther Cunningham. A guy that can put together a good unit when he has tons of talent, but isn't head coaching material.

I don't know him well enough to bash him.... this next coach is just very important..... and I hate that the Chiefs are hiring one in February.

Hopefully we'll all look back in 2019 and point to this as 'the day the dynasty began'.

Which is not a thought that even entered my mind when vermeil or herm were hired.

Part of that's Pioli, obviously. But hiring Shanahan or (ugh) Cowher wouldn't have done it, either. It's not that I'm sold on Haley - it's the possibility of having a coach here for a decade that excites me, that that's what they're going for. Building something to last years and years, instead of trying to catch lightning in a bottle or bringing in another in a long string of buddies.

FROM FOX SPORTS



FOXSports.com has learned that the Chiefs offered the position to Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley and he has accepted. They are now trying to work out terms of a contract agreement.

Haley interviewed for the position earlier this week and a Cardinals player at the Pro Bowl told FOXSports.com Haley was scheduled to arrive in Honolulu for the Pro Bowl Thursday as a guest of Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald, but canceled at the last moment because of the Kansas City job.

"He's going to be a big loss for us," another Cards player told FOXSports.com.

A different Cardinals player said, "He was really liked in the locker room, because we felt like he was always trying to figure something out for us for Sundays. He never stopped."

Haley called the plays for the high-flying Cardinals offense that shocked the world by not only getting to the Super Bowl, but nearly winning it last Sunday.

There's probably never a way out of it, really.

No matter whom you hire, he's bringing his friends. CEO or HC in the NFL. Same shit.

[booger]

I wouldn't be suprised to see Crennell come on as ASST. HC and DL Coach if not DC. He has or is going to get a hip replacement, is 60+ and was rumored to be offered a DL coach job from Weiss at ND.

Others? I've liked the idea of McDurmott for awhile now. Can't go wrong with a Jim Johnson deciple. I'd really like the idea if Romeo was there as DL coach to help him out as a first time DC.

Bill Davis - LB coach Cards. Of course the past 2 years working with Haley but also from Pittsburgh area like Haley. Former DC of the 49ers and roughly the same age range as Haley.

Todd Bowles - DB/ASS. HC Dolphins. Another of Parcells' guys he is high on.

Brian Stewart - Recently fired(thrown under the bus) by the cowgirls as DC. Wade Phillips took over the play calling duties and they fired him after the season. He also would make sense for the DB's job. That's what his role was in SD when WP was the DC.

I think it's possible they keep Gailey and most of the staff on offense if they think it's a fit. The unknown is if Haley as a first time HC will want to call his own plays or not. He has had that experience from watching Whisenhunt go through what he is about to. Also keep in mind that all coaches who have not left for new jobs are under contract for 1 more year. They could make a trial run of it with Gailey and see how it works out while giving new hires longer contracts.

Clyde Christenson - WR coach of the Colts makes some sense. Was with Dungy all those years but since they moved to Indy he should have picked up some things from Tom Moore.

Maurice Carthon - Cards RB coach. More likely a candidate only if Haley calls his own plays IMO. Crennell gave him a shot in CLE but had to fire him. Also could be promoted in AZ if Whisenhunt calls the O.

Special teams will also be a very key hire. Up in Minny, Chad O'Shea is an offensive ass/quality control coach under Childress. He was Frank Ganz Jr's assistant special teams coach during the DV years. He wanted to switch to learn on the offensive side of the ball when he joined the vikes but i'd think he'd be worth an interview.

[ChiefMojo]

I've warmed up to the thought of Haley being the HC a few days ago. I think he will bring a fiery style of coaching. Also the thought of actual innovative offensive football is appealing as well. I trust in Pioli and it looks like he trusts in Haley. They have a long relationship dating back to their New York Jets days and all the years Haley was with Pioli's father-in-law in the Big Tuna.

[FAX]

The cool thing is that, very soon, we're going to find out if some of the individual performance problems we've had over the past few years were due to lack of talent or if it has indeed been the result of poor coaching. My guess is that some of the guys on our roster are actually much better than they've looked and that a real, honest-to-God coaching staff will make a significant difference in their quality of play.

[SenselessChiefsFan]

God I hate that argument. The shit is getting really old.

Well, if you look at where Haley has been, with the Jets under Parcells, brought in Testeverde (Sp), with the Cowboys (Developed Romo).... and now with the Cardinals.... went with 'washed up' Warner over Leinhart (again, sp?)

By the way, in Cleveland, Pioli was on the staff with Belichick, and I believe they drafted the QB from GA in the third to be their QBOTF.

Not saying they won't, but the GM and now the head coach have a history of not drafting a QB high and developing lower round guys and recycled veterans.

I am sure that IF they believe Stafford or Sanchez is right, and they are there, they will take him..... but I don't think they will 'force' the issue.

Well, two things here. #1) I dissagree that the position requires speed. Terrell Suggs is not a blazing fast individual, and if you look over the history of the position, blazing speed is not a requirement. I think that being able to read the play is a bigger priority, and he does that well.

#2) I think Hali is plenty quick, he just gets tangled up at times and worn down from working against bigger guys. He will be able to split wider, get a jump on his guy and will have more of an element of surprise.

But, we shall see what happens... at this point, we don't even know if we are going to the 3-4.

[Sure-Oz]

Worst kept secret in Chiefs history.

I called this probably 2 weeks ago.

Anyways, happy to see him on board and for this ordeal to be over.

I'm glad this is over too, now im excited to see what asst's we get

DROWN THE RAT

[Boris The Great]

Nick didnt either.... did he?

Nine days ago he said... and I quote...

Todd Haley will NOT be the Chiefs next head coach.

[Hammock Parties]

This almost brings tears to my eyes. Its what alot of us have dreamed about for years.

A complete house cleaning. A Young Owner, a young GM and a young HC. All hungry to start their own legacies.

Its like something out of a dream. Ive watched it worked with so many other teams over the years and its finally happening with ours. :)

But Bill Cowher! BILL COWHER!!!!

Don't like the hire, but I'll be behind him all the way.

I hope he works out, but I will not be pleased if he can't control his sideline and his players better than he demonstrated as an O-coordinator.

I think it would be neat if Haley was head coach/offensive coordinator.

You just know he's going to call his own plays, so why not?

[Deberg_1990]

But Bill Cowher! BILL COWHER!!!!



Hes a fine HC, and he could have been successful here to, but a young hungry guy was absolutley the way to go.

[Hammock Parties]

For what it's worth, Nick seems to believe Chan Gailey is staying. He won't commit to it though. If you ask me Gailey was sticking around just because Cowher was a candidate. I don't see why Haley would want him. Food for thought.

This hiring is truly unexpected.

[FAX]

There's a distinct difference between networking and nepotism, between hiring a friend of a friend who's successfully working his way up and hiring a friend of a friend who's been around (and stagnant) for years.

Well put, Mr. keg in kc. Of course a man is going to reach out to people he knows and can trust ... people he believes he can work with. We all do it. But, the Chiefs are no longer recycling the same old group based merely on favoritism. Clark wants to win and is directing the franchise to hire winners. I hope and trust that Haley fits the bill. At least we know that Clark and Pioli believe he does.

Valid concerns.

Be interesting to see if this is even an issue when he's not calling the plays, though. Usually the coordinators have more direct involvement with players on gameday, so this might mitigate some issues.

[1ChiefsDan]

ESPN is now reporting that foxsports is reporting an offer has been made...:shake:Exactly - and the Star is reporting that Fox is reporting....

Not saying it isn't happening - but with all the secrecy around 1 Arrowhead Drive these days I think I will wait to get excited about it being done when the Chiefs announce it.

It's February... not a lot of choices.... that actually want to coach this year.

I really wanted Herm gone, but I hate the fact that we are relegated to the clearance isle for our coach and staff.

I HOPE that Haley is a great coach and we can pull a great staff out of the hat.... the one thing that I am really hoping is that Pioli has been working behind the scenes on lining up the staff.

I just hope Gailey isn't retained ugh.

Why is anyone concerned about Gailey? I'm not even a fan of his and I don't care if he stays.

We just hired an offensive coach. It's not like they hired Cowher and he's gonna say "OK, Chan, keep doing your thing". Any offense we run will be Haley's. Any QB decision will be made by Pioli and Haley. Haley could even call the plays. If Gailey stays, it'll just be to do Haley's bidding.

But Gailey does have a lot of experience, including as a head coach, and having someone like him on the staff could be good for a guy leading his own team for the first time.

No, Frank, I won't.

I had no clue Haley was going to be the Chiefs' head coach.

Thanks. Your honesty is appreciated. You've done a great job of staying out of this. Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt.

Here's my problem: We just hired Josh McDaniels but with 'maturity' issues coming from his most recent stops, a lessar resume and without any history with young QBs. I see not one single area where Haley should be considered a better candidate than McDaniels.

It's not just the attitude, it's his overall underwhelming track record.

And he's an offensive guy being tasked with coaching a team with the 2nd worst defense in football.

Ask yourselves what we'd have done had Den. made this same hire. We'd have barbecued them for it. So shouldn't we look at it with the same critical eye when the hire is made here?

LIke I said, I'll back the guy. But I'm going into this one with both eyes wide open, there are more questions than answers today, IMO.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Hopefully we'll all look back in 2019 and point to this as 'the day the dynasty began'.

Which is not a thought that even entered my mind when vermeil or herm were hired.

Part of that's Pioli, obviously. But hiring Shanahan or (ugh) Cowher wouldn't have done it, either. It's not that I'm sold on Haley - it's the possibility of having a coach here for a decade that excites me, that that's what they're going for. Building something to last years and years, instead of trying to catch lightning in a bottle or bringing in another in a long string of buddies.

Mmm...This.

Parcells wanted to hire him before he hired Sparano.

And I'm sorry, McDaniels had a great O-line, Randy Moss and Wes Welker to coordinate around so I don't know why Haley has a lesser resume in your eyes.

I would argue he called a much better SB than McDaniels did last year against a better defense.

[melbar]

Can we just get something more solid than X is reporting Y made and offer to maybe hire Z?

[Hammock Parties]

McDaniels has 8 years of NFL experience, all with ONE franchise.

Haley has 14 with MULTIPLE franchises.

Huge difference, IMO.

I'd like to argue with you and play devil's advocate, but I'm in agreement with much of this.

The D is particularly scary. He and Pioli will have to make a very wise decision here.

I'm in full support of Pioli and his decision making at this point, but I'm most excited about having completely new blood. We'll see how the HC hire works out. Hoping for the best.

I will say, however, that Haley's NFL experience is broader. Been with more organizations, ostensibly might have picked up more along the way. Granted, McDaniels was at the feet of the master, but we have someone from that house, too.

Perhaps they'll complement each other nicely?

The cool thing is that, very soon, we're going to find out if some of the individual performance problems we've had over the past few years were due to lack of talent or if it has indeed been the result of poor coaching. My guess is that some of the guys on our roster are actually much better than they've looked and that a real, honest-to-God coaching staff will make a significant difference in their quality of play.

There's no doubt about it. I've lived in AZ. for three years now, and prior to Wisenhut they were a HUGE, hapless pile of shit. They were a local joke.

Some guys will get exposed and shown the door, and some you had little to no faith in will step up and have you doing double-takes all season long.

Good times ahead! :toast:

[beach tribe]

I'm excited about our first time HC. This is a new day for the KC Chiefs. Things are being done the right way for the first time in a long time, and Clark is doing things exactly the way he said he would, The way that all of those who know what they're talking about have wanted it to happen. Here's to a beautiful relationship between Haley, and Pioli. The future kings of KC. A sincere thanks to The MAN. The one, and only Clark Hunt.

Good points, Mr. DJ's left nut. As usual. I, too, have been increasingly concerned about Haley's temper over the past month or so.

Still, Haley knows as well as anyone that this is his opportunity to prove himself. The guy is intelligent and believes that, if your offense can score, you're never out of a game. Those are characteristics 180 degrees opposed to where we've been. Plus, he has Pioli as a partner. That's an ace up our sleeve.

So, I look at it this way ... a lot depends on who the coordinators and assistants are. If Haley has learned anything from Parcells, I hope it's the concept of surrounding yourself with talented assistants. If so, we could be in excellent hands.

[ChiefRon]

I really like this move, and our offense should improve immediately, especially given the offense-heavy draft coming up. Hopefully the staff will be put together quickly and will include Crennel or McDermott.

McDaniels' O-line is decent, but it's not great. Brady's decisionmaking built a rep for that line that far exceeds its ability. Moss and Welker are at best equal to Boldin and Fitz, I wouldn't even give them that. And Warner is the better QB by far. If I'm a coordinator, I'd rather have the Cardinals setup than the Pats.

Haley called a putrid first 3 quarters of that SB. Little dunk passes and bubble screens, completely ignoring Fitzgerald. He called a good drive in the middle of the 4th and then Fitz made a hell of a play on a crossing route. Without that, the Cards would've straight up embarassed themselves on offense.

As for the 'Parcells wanted Haley' argument, I don't buy it. If Parcells wanted him, AZ couldn't have stopped the move, it's a promotion. I think that's revisionist history by folks in the Haley camp.

We'll see how it goes.

I can't WAIT for those moments when the "slightly above casual" fans of the other teams in this league begin to see that first light of reality dawn that they are in serious fucking trouble, and that there is most definitely a New Sheriff In Town.

Very similar hire to Sean Payton IMO.

Pioli gets the benefit of the doubt until he proves himself, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to be a hopeless dumbass.

Then he and Rufus better be ready to go back-to-back.

Whether Haley makes it or not, I'm pleased with the fact we are trying to hire an assistant with promise instead of either a retread faliure or older HC that's been to the top and is complacent.

LIke I said, I'll back the guy. But I'm going into this one with both eyes wide open, there are more questions than answers today, IMO.

I think the offensive/defensive end doesn't always pan out. Billeck was supposed to be an offensive genius coming out but couldn't find any in Baltimore. Their Super Bowl championship is remarkable in that the offense went through a long streak without scoring, but the defense kept them in the games.

Herm was a defensive coach who only for a short time was able to make any improvement from Vermeil.

We're going to need big improvement on both sides of the ball. We are not going to be playing Gailey's spread offense, so we need to find offensive lineman that have some skills. We have no linebacker squad from which to even start to build upon, perhaps one player there who could with the right coaching become something special.

You pick your poison with either type coach. If he's smart he brings in someone competent to run both sides and sets the framework for them to work with. A head coach in this day and age cannot expect to be his own coordinator.
