Because it is no surprise that a KC based group would award this to the local NFL coach? :shrug:

This raises an interesting issue.

There exists in the NFL a school of thought that continuity at the head coaching position lends itself to long-term success. Chuck Noll and Don Shula come are often used as examples.

On the other hand, head coaches can also burn out and lose their team over time. Whatever message they want to convey eventually becomes stale and redundant. Over time, players who have heard the same pitch over and over can't help but tune it out.

I wonder what the optimum tenure of a head coach ought to be? Obviously, it depends on the coach, his age, the owner and lots of other factors, but I'm thinking 5 to 6 years ... maybe a tad more. At that point, whatever methods that coach has used in the past to motivate his players will have surely gone stale.

Not if he turns the roster over in that time. Keep bringing in new players and they'll never know if Coach is telling one of his old war stories or not. LMAO

Hmmm.

So head coaches don't lose their jobs because the team simply ceases to respond to their coaching and/or ideas? I can think of dozens of coaches who were fired after having reasonably successful careers with a variety of teams. I wonder why they were terminated? Didn't turn the roster over fast enough?

I would lean toward that.

In the comic industry, they figure the average readership turns over every 8-10 years, which is why you see so many "retcons" of Superman's origin or a new spin on how Batman became Batman. Why? Because most of the readers who "grew up" with those comics aren't reading them any more and the new readers don't have any emotions tied to "how it was".

Coaches/GMs could take the same approach.

It's the American way, after all. :hmmm: :evil:

Actually

So its not the Chiefs awards banquet. Its an actual award by an organization called NFL 101.

I wonder if ShitMyPants! is still be bandied about as an MVP candidate?LMAO

hmm,

KINGFIGHT

that's why I called it the 101 Banquet...the Chiefs host the banquet and the proceeds go to Chiefs charities.

The real coach of the year is Crennel what he did with the defense is nothing short of amazing.

thank you haley for a good season.

That's unfair. Chiefs rarely collect any of the big hardware at this ceremony.
