Garbage.

Every defense should have a Cover 2 package as part of it's overall scheme. You can't sit there and play man to man all day or you will get toasted.

Gunther is incompetent, he's ****ing GONE, and people are STILL defending him?

The earlier comment by Woody Paige...

The comment wasn't made by Woody Paige, but by a poster on his site. Thus far, it seems we have nothing buy Athan whispering "Shanahan" into a drunken Jack Harry's ear and Kyle Shanahan's comment at a mall.

It's an OM thing.

Well, apparently Jack Harry is saying the same thing. Gee, let's think about this for a moment:

Peterson - Edwards
or
Pioli - Shanahan

For all of you who are already whining about this outcome, check yourselves. Shanahan in a purely head coaching role is excellent. He couldn't do the combo hc/gm job...neither could Captain Kangaroo in Seattle. Shanahan is a very smart coach and will most likely bring with him exceptional assistant coaches. Dude knows the AFC West better than anybody. I think we would be lucky to have him.

But, again, I will quote the report we referenced weeks ago on our website.

Quote:

Shanahan was at least partially fired in Denver because he wanted to hold on to Bob Slowik as defensive coordinator, but his real undoing may have been his dual role as Broncos Head Coach and Executive Vice President of Football Operations. Shanahan had absolute power, and it absolutely destroyed Denver’s defense.

That may not be a problem in Kansas City. Per an NFL source, Shanahan has made it known through “third-party channels” that he’s interested in the Chiefs’ job but would not require total control of football operations as he did in Denver. Can you imagine the perfect pairing of Shanahan and a general manager who could pluck the right defensive talent from the draft, while assisting in the search for the right defensive coordinator?

There is substance to this. The article is over two weeks old. Since then, Shanahan's name has continued to pop up in reports on our premium forum. No other coach has received nearly as much play. Certainly not Todd Haley.

I agree. But that does not excuse Gunther in any way. Or his absolute failure to coach linebackers.

That's crazy talk.

You saw the purple plane, right?

Gunther wasn't much better under Vermeil. No cover 2 there, he got a ton of free agents and Surtain through the trade, and top draft pics. Plus DV basically let him run the defense while he focused on offense. What's the excuse there?

That means exactly nothing.

Did it mean nothing when Pioli's name was doing the same thing for weeks leading up to the GM hire?

That is a good question, I don't remember what it was. But I am sure DV probably took the blame for the whole deal, unlike the current asshole.

So does Shanahan like or dislike getting a load blown in his face?

Good lord, how would his son know that?

Schefter might, though, given his Denver connections.
