He may have been on a list but he wasn't ever a candidate.

:Lin:

heh. LMAO

Wouldn't a decent GM candidate want to have some input on the HC decision? I imagine that some guys would drop out of the GM race if a new HC is already in place. The Chiefs probably ought to be thinking about an interim coach that can act as a tourniquet to stop the hemorrhaging. They're not in a position to look for a long-term solution now, IMHO.

Also, IMHO, Zorn could be on the verge of seeing a great deal of power and opportunity shift his way — if he wants it.

I'm not saying I advocate Andy Reid as HC after he gets canned this year, but JC would be a dangerous mother ****er with him... then throw in Geno Smith.

edit: And I do like his attacking D... ****, I'm really tired, but I'm afraid I'm talking myself into wanting Andy Reid's gigantic fat ass here. I need halp.

Reid is basically Marty with a couple of playoff wins. Pass.

He interviewed for our OC spot before we hired Daboll this past offseason.

Whatever hurt feelings he had have obviously settled.

What kept him from getting over the NFCC game hump? Lazy QB?

Well, right up until he was told he didn't get the gig.

Don't have a clue. He had several SB quality teams but could never get one there.

Not only that but he didn't land a single offensive coordinator spot he interviewed for in the offseason and went back to oakland with his tail between his legs for a demotion. Does that sound like a viable head coaching candidate to anybody else? Maybe 8 years ago.

+1 gazillion!

I would take Al back tofreakinday!

Good point.

I wonder, though, how many teams employ the line of thinking that we do; the whole "he's not from the GM/Head Coach's tree" kind of thing. You wouldn't think it would matter with Saunders' resume, but I guess it could be a possibility?
