Covitz: San Francisco 49ers are Arrowhead West...

Call it Arrowhead West (http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/1189)

Everyone seems to be making a big deal out of the Chiefs creating a New England West with GM Scott Pioli and new coordinators Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel on hand.

At least they won three Super Bowls together with the Patriots.

Look what's going on out in San Francisco. Coach Mike Singletary hired former Chiefs assistant coach Kurt Schottenheimer as the 49ers defensive coordinator on Monday. [Edit: This is a typo, he is the ST Coordinator]

That gives the 49ers a trifecta of top assistants who were in Kansas City during the 1990s.

Jimmy Raye, a Chiefs assistant during 1992-97 and offensive coordinator in 1998-00 is the 49ers offensive coordinator; and Greg Manusky, an outstanding special teams player and backup linebacker with the Chiefs during 1994-99, is San Francisco's defensive coordinator.

Kurt Schottenheimer was the Chiefs special teams coach during 1989-94; secondary coach during 1995-98 and defensive coordinator i 1999-2000.

Arrowhead West, not exactly the slogan that would make me want to go right away and buy season tickets.:shake:

Wow. Well, good luck in the endeavors. Maybe they can emulate the success to the degree that they'll have the best regular season win percentage over the course of a decade, only to lose a bunch of playoff games and make 1 conference title game after they trade for Peyton Manning 2 years before he retires.

Mike Solari now on board

I keep telling people this.

Mike Singletary is a bad coach. He's Herm Edwards. A fucking Herm Edwards clone.

Luckily Herm never pulled down his pants in the locker room... :)

No joke. He would be looking like a fool, if he had done that.

Now's the time for a crappy team to hire Marty or Brian Schottenheimer as HC, since all their relatives and cronies are in place elsewhere. Marty/Brian would have to actually hire competent assistants. Wait, does Paul Hackett have a job?
