Desired Characteristics in the Next Head Coach (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=253640)

The poll fails to capture what I want in a coach.
Criteria #1 Coach needs to have an offensive coordinator/QB coach who can identify elite QB talent at the collegiate level and develop it at the pro level.
Criteria #2 Coach needs to have an aggressive mentality with respect to both defense, offense and game management. I want to see blitzes. I want to see fakes on special teams. I want to see down-field passes.
Criteria #3 Coach needs to be a strong leader and motivator. By this I mean his players need to trust him but not necessarily like him. He needs to demand and get maximum production out of his players.
Criteria #4 Coach needs to be able to delegate to and trust his assistants and coordinators.

Edit: As part of #4, the Coach should be providing purpose, direction and motivation to his team. He needs to accomplish this through strong oversight and through his coordinators. His assistants and coordinators need to accomplish the gameplanning and enforcement of fundamentals. The Head Coach should sign off on these and develop an over-arcing plan for the other coaches to implement.
Much beyond this, I couldn't give a ****.

I totally agree with all of this.

This. Elite QB is more important than coach.

I feel a HC should get 3 years.

I hated Haley, hated his style, and I'm fine with him being gone. I don't see an extra 3 games changing much of anything but if I'm the GM I'd still give the guy I went out on a limb for his 3 years.

If there is anything this organization needs to learn is that it's better to give up to soon than to late...

I disagree.

I think that has to be A and B.

That's the key points. Coach and QB.

It's not about one or the other it's when you get both you do something special...

Is that his upper teeth or lower teeth
disturbing

I think there's one category we're missing. A winner. I don't care who they hire, I don't care who they cut, I don't care who they fire. Just win. It won't matter if we don't like the coach or not, winning makes you like a coach a whole lot better than any bullshit reason.

A coach with a 4 yr plan instead of a 5 yr plan!

Jim Caldwell/ Peyton Manning

A QB makes the coach.

Our New Head Coach:

Being a Winner is a must

and he Must Refuse Cassel as His Starter

Walsh made Montana.

I don't think Brady is Brady without the Hoody.

Bradshaw is a total ****ing idiot. There's no way he finds his way out of a closet without guidance.

I will say that you need both the HC and the QB or there is no SB.

There are only 2 exceptions I can think of in (modern age) the last 20 years...

So who are the canidates that best fit the majority votes?
It would be cool if someone with these awesome poll abilities wanted to continue this effort to narrow down canidates and name a chiefsplanet HC nomination by popular vote.

There are a ton of HOF QB's who'd argue that...
